Here is another perfect example of the importance of allowing amendments to proposals.

The motion as noted in the minutes of the Executive Council states this will be a "high school division". For those that are 15 and still in 8th grade you just eliminated them from competing in the kids qualifying tournaments. How does this make sense? If you vote on this and it is approved you just voted to keep kids out! If you vote it down because of its restrictive language then you just delayed a possible good change (with an amendment being allowed) for another year.

If the amendment is allowed, the verbiage could be slightly tweaked, making the proposal more appeasing and not prohibiting anyone from competing!

Richard, do you want to be the point person when the angry dad/mom questions why his son can’t wrestle?
