The information is there and should be shared freely. If people want to jockey and play Ebay bid stealer by moving their kid at 11:55pm then so be it. We will never eliminate those trying to dodge competition but at the end of the day those who dodge competition merely to qualify or place at kids state will not be around to place in HS state.

There is a kid in District 1 who wrestles 14U 75. He thought that he would finally get to wrestle some kids his size after grinding out the season being combined up to 85. He entered without being able to see any other entries. Guess what, he is a state champ! Is he happy, HECK NO! He wanted to move up to 80lbs so he could wrestle! Hats off to this young man! He knows it is really about mat time and competition no podiums and plaques. The RULES won't permit him to move up but if the information would have been available you can bet he would have. It is ridiculous to hide information. This isn't poker! I guarantee you the overwhelming majority of parents would vote to allow viewing of the data.
