With the use of Trackwrestling, there is absolutely NO reason to have to have your entries in the Wednesday before the seeding meeting. Trying to recruit HS kids to wrestle the state series takes time. Many are tired of it, and takes a while to "miss" it. It is possible that our club alone could have picked up at least 3 more kids if given til Saturday midnight, the night before the seeding meeting. Winfield had some sort of miscommunication with HS kids, and 10 of them were unable to sign up. I understand we need a deadline, but it doesn't need to be this early........

My understanding is that this issue was brought up at the Exec Council meeting, and it was shot down.

Can someone give me a legit excuse for the Wednesday deadline? We are allowed to make changes the morning of the seeding meeting, so if by chance I entered a kid in the wrong weight class, I can change it SUnday morning, and no harm is done. So don't give me this "we have to have them in by Wednesday, so we can release them for coaches to look over to check for mistakes". All that does is cause mass panic of parents moving their kids around to avoid the tough kids........

By the way, it is comical to see the nervous dads asking "what weight is so and so going for subs?", trying to avoid competition.
