Sportso2 have you lost all focus on what this post has evolved into. A kid - who worked hard all season - lost the chance to try and qualify for state - because an adult made a mistake. It was pointed out before wrestling started and because of our rules - he could not wrestle. You said Ned should not appologize for this. Even though it is not his fault, the rule needs to be amended and Ned as the person in charge should appologize - not take blame. Now it just needs to be changed. I would believe we should give our e-board the power to correct situations where adults make a mistake and a kid suffers. I really feel for this dad. I understand his anger, but lets direct it at fixing the problem and Doug has a good idea.

On the other kid, let him wrestle and lets drop a 2 year old mistake. Probably another accident made by an adult - that could not be reported because he would lose the chance to wrestle.
