Ok maybe because I am an outsider I don't understand the beef with this, here is why...I believe it is 500 miles 1 way from any border of Kansas to wrestle, which gives you a huge area to span. Some teams take advantage and go into other states and find competitions, but few invite other states in. Add in the fact the 0 teams went to Toshiba, Lone Star Duals, Dvorak, or The Clash (which maybe slightly out of the range by 20-30 miles, but could possibly be petitioned for and I ask...why is this a problem? I believe you can see tons of competition if you just go a few hundred miles into the neighboring states, especially if you are a border team. Look at Ulysses and Goodland that draw teams from Colorado. Just recently the east half of the state which seems to complain the most about rules, has had teams come into Sunflower turf.

I think Kansas needs to host a combined effort type of tournament to bring in out of state teams. I have seen on the net where teams from one coast have flown out to the opposite coast to see "competition". Maybe have a tournament designed to let teams meet in the middle and wrestle some duals on a Friday if they want, and then additionaly compete in a bracketed or pool format on Saturday.

If anything maybe allow wrestlers to freely compete in events like Oklahoma Open which is now just a high school tournament, without having to wait to join your team, but have it limited to a point system as well, so if you want to compete before your team's 1st competition you need it signed off by your high school coach, and you can't exceed more then 2 tournaments before that competition date.
