I’ll bet it is more cost effective this way and will reduce travel for the coaching staffs and volunteers – NOT The idea/proposal - is let’s do it now and we will figure out how to do it later. If that is the type of CHANGE we are voting for – I hope everyone has a few more open weekends and can round up tons of volunteers.

LAST TIME I CHECKED there are only 2 days in a weekend.
So in February we will have subdistricts, districts and state for 6, 8, & 10 and then at another location there will bee 12 & 14 open tournaments going on somewhere - I guess this all happens on Saturdays. So in the month of February if you have a 10 and 12 year old they will wrestle possibly at different locations. I am sure clubs will be chomping at the bit to host a 12 & 14 only tournament on the same day as subdistrict district and state for 6, 8, & 10's. Let alone try to get refs and volunteers. Coaches from clubs will be split up also to cover tournaments in 2 locations. Sundays we should be OK for novice in February. But everyone will be stretched thin on Saturdays - unless we start wrestling on Fridays in February for 3 straight weeks.



The only thing that surprises me about you Sean is that you are able to type with that straightjacket on... How do you do that???
