Richard, why didn't you take a cut of the money you recovered for District 2 a few years back? I know you spent a ton of time that noone else was willing to spend, to make things right. I've always admired you for what you did there.

I'm not going to sit here and volunteer to do Kathy's job for nothing, but Will raises valid points about the volunteer basis of our organization. If someone else did it for free, would we run the risk of getting what we pay for? Possibly. I just wonder what kind of luck you'll have when you start asking for volunteers for running the state tourney, when others get paid, or get expenses paid, to "volunteer" at a state sponsored event like Kids' State. You'll hear a cry of hypocrisy at some point.

I do like the idea of online registration. What with Trackwrestling, online registration in Oklahoma series tourneys, Roller tourneys, why don't we get current with the times? I see some tie in with Trackwrestling as a way to purchase USA cards. Then that wrestler's info is in the trackwrestling system and the USA wrestling system, and it would make it easier to enter them in tourneys as well. (except for our end of year qualifying tourneys, which for some reason we aren't allowed to use the "wrestler number" that Trackwrestling assigns each kid)

I'm not tech guy, but all of the duplication of data entry is ridiculous, when we have the means to do it once at the beginning of the year, and then only need to type in that wrestler number and weight class to enter kids in tourneys from there on out. The USA cards could surely be made a part of this, and Trackwrestling only charges $.50 per entry!!!

My two cents worth. Maybe someone smarter than me can comment on tying our USA registration and trackwrestling registration together.
