Were other District tournamnet directors given a list of proceedures to follow prior to setting up their tournament? I wasn't!!!!! The only thing the state sent me was from Mr. Lund regarding TW info..user id/password stuff.
With that said, I'm going to attach an e-mail sent to me from Scott Edwards. I received this e-mail 1 week prior to the District tournament only because I was trying to close weigh-ins at 7 because of the Senior Dual. Notice the wording in the sentence regarding weigh in times....it clearly tells directors to be flexible.

Subject: Qualifying Tournament Guidelines for Review
District Directors,
Listed below are the guidelines discussed at the last meeting. Please review and let me know if I have missed anything or misstated something. I want to get the tournaments set up so let me know your thoughts soon.
Tom
Districts are required to seed top 4 wrestlers.
Byes are to be awarded to top seeded wrestlers.
Separation of wrestlers by club for kids not seeded is suggested!
In the event a seeded wrestler drops out the other wrestlers are not reseeded. It stays the same.
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!
Actual weights are required to be entered into Track Wrestling. Actual weights will be posted for all to see.
Rating system for all 8 Sub Districts will be A,B,C, or D.
Full 8 man brackets are desired at districts. Districts may take more than 4 for either of their Sub Districts.
mat side scoring is optional for the districts.
Sub District Entries by 3-2-11 at 10:00 pm.
Sub District Entries to be released 3-2-11 at midnight.
Sub District Brackets to be released 3-6-11 at 8:00 pm.
All release dates to be the same. Set up by Jim Lund.
All Sub District and District tournaments will begin at 9:00 am.

Again, I don't think Pratt did anything wrong regarding weigh-in times.....unless the definition of flexable has changed. If the state wanted all State Series tournaments to be identical, all tournament directors should have been notified, and quite frankly all the tournament flyers should have been done by the state.........
