I'm sorry to hear that some of you are disappointed in us not having satellite weigh-ins this year. This is not a change we made from prior year's tournaments as we have always had weigh-ins at the Bi-Center. While satellite weigh-ins is something that we will look at for next years tournament, for this year we will be having weigh-ins from 6:30-8:30 on Friday night and from 6:30-7:30 Saturday morning at the Bi-Center as we have in the past.

I'm of the opinion that if we are going to have satellite weigh-ins it needs to be stated clearly in the tournament flyer that we mail out in December. That flyer goes out to all Kansas clubs as well as to clubs in Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. To change the weigh-in procedures now would not be fair to those clubs, who are going off the information in the flyer.

We always strive to put on a great tournament with top caliber competition that people are happy with when they have left. We will continue to do that this year and in the years to come. If you have questions or concerns I encourage you to call or email me. My contact information is listed on the tournament flyer and on our website, www.salinawrestling.com/2010ToC.htm.
