I probably shouldn't be posting right now, as I only got about three hours of sleep last night....

Pratt and District IV didn't do anything wrong or unethical. Originally I wanted to cut off weigh-ins at 7 friday night because we were hosting a Senior Dual. I had put quite a bit of time into this, and really wanted to go watch it. Only after several D4 clubs expressed their concerns about the 7oclock cut off, I had an email forwarded to me Sunday March 13th that was originally sent to executive board members Monday February 14th. My flyer had already been posted for a week. Here is what the e-mail said regarding weigh-in times......(((((Sub District and District weigh in on Friday night will be 6-8. Sat 6-7. Remember the board indicated we need to be flexible!))))) Note...the board indicated we need to be F L E X I B L E.........Isn't starting at 1 being flexible? Isn't changing the cut-off time Friday night from 7-8 being flexible? No where in this e-mail does it say that weigh-ins are mandatory Friday 6-8, and Saturday 6-7.

All this whining about D4 kids having more time to weigh in is ignorant to say the least. Every kid in every district had until 8 to make weight. Actually, my flyer reads 1-7 which would have given the other three districts an extra hour to make weight. Hossus, would you have complained about that.... I highly doubt it????

I guess I don't understand why some of you are so upset. Would you have rather weighed in at 1 as well....one would assume! None of the D4 kids had an unfair advantage over your kids this weekend. If getting to eat earlier than your kid is your motiviation for stirring the pot, then start another thread complaining about the State Weigh-ins. I still don't know how they are going to work, but it sounds like some kids get to weigh in earlier than others......just sayin!!!!

Would someone from the Executive board shed some light on this please? Were any of the other tournament directors told that weigh-ins were manditory 6-8 friday, 6-7 saturday? If an e-mail was sent to me, I didn't get it. If a letter was mailed, I didn't get it. If it was posted on this site, I didn't read it. I've been a little consumed with Track Wrestling, and getting ready for the tournament. I haven't been paying much attention to the talk forum.

God Bless and Good Night!!!!!
