From one Big W to another,
I would not keep throwing out the 2,000 number. What percentage of that number went to Ottawa and what percentage decided not to go. How big of a tournament would each district be? We do have a percent or number of parents in that 6 & under division that are not in favor of a 6 year old state tournament. That age group (6 & under) is probably the largest particpation number in every sport acrossed the nation. I know every sport acrossed the nation does not have a state championship for six year olds and I also know some states do offer such opportunities. Attrition weeds them out and then they begin to learn the sport or activity of choice and wait their turn to go to the big dance.
Good healthy discussion - I hope the district and state meeting have a time limit and they vote - No or Yes.
Sean,
If we vote yes and try this proposal out for one year I will be able to provide you with numbers and answers to all of your questions.
Why can't I use the 2,085 number? It is a FACT. 2,085 parents with wrestlers in the 6U age group forked over $35 for each wrestler last year. That is $72,975 dollars. We used that number so why can't I use the 2,085 number?
What harm do you think this proposal will have on Kansas Kids Wrestling? How will it negatively impact where we are today? How will voting no promote growth in our sport?
