I wish everyone was as passionate about summer wrestling as they are about getting the entries posted The other questions that need to be answered:

How many kids went to the camp last year?
What was the break down by district?
How many kids went to the tournament last year?
What was the break down by district?
How many kids attended the last SP camp held at Neosho CC?
How many kids participated in the last SP tournament in Topeka?

I don't believe the camp was mandatory the last time the tournament was in Kansas but I would need clarification on that as well.

Bob Phillips keeps telling us that we trying stop him from trying his idea. Just what is that idea? None of us seem to understand exactly what he hopes to accomplish by MANDATING camp attendance. He does not respond to the posts, he does not respond to email, and he has even contradicted himself when he stated that USA Wrestling supports the camp mandate.

I sincerely hope Randy can get these questions answered but what really needs to happen is the mandate needs to be vetoed. I truly have no idea why a board that wants our sport to grow would place controls on its membership to prohibit them participating. We now have two such controls: 1) In order to participate at the USA Folkstyle Nationals you MUST wrestle at Sub Districts 2) In order to participate in the Southern Plains tournament you MUST attend a camp. It is time for the constituency to stand up a demand these mandates be removed.
