Doug,

Now you’re just being an ass.*****don't let your mouth write checks your a$$ can't cash***** I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. But, I will tell you that there were real flesh and blood wrestlers that were not able to wrestle in the State series last year for no fault of their own…and EVERY year for that matter. ******And the D2 proposal would be the least punitive way to rectify that situation******* The situations varied from the parents making a mistake, the wrestler sitting on the fence, the club making mistakes, and even worse, a participant purposely being left off a list. *******In each instance, our proposal would allow those kids you mention to wrestle, as long as they checked their email, or went to practice to check with their club director******** Every year the managers of the Sub-District tournaments get hit with every excuse in the book.****And this would end that, because trackwrestling closes 2 hours before the seeding meeting under our proposal****** The intent of the original amendment was to give these kids who for whatever reason missed our deadline an opportunity to wrestle for an added fee. ****Ours give them that option without the additional fee****** The original amendment offers the fairest and most consistent way to deal with this issue. **See above*** Some excuses may be more legitimate than others, but who decides whether little Johnny’s internet outage was more important big Mike’s trip to the ER. I don’t like excuses, but if we are going to open the door up and fix the problem for one kid than we need to have rules in place that can be consistently applied to the entire USAWA-KS organization. Simply put, extending the deadline without an added fee DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. Any solution that doesn't put in place a parent/participant review period **********I have never gone online to check to see if my son was entered in the correct weight, and neither do most parents. They assume their kid is entered correctly. And you still have that option to make weight changes when your club is called up to ok the entry list. I'm sorry, but if a kid can't get entered by the 2 hour deadline, he doesn't want to wrestle very bad********DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. This is my last comment on this issue…until Sunday. Club representatives, you have to show up to have a voice! The D2 amendment DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.****And the D1 amendment punishes you for not entering by a deadline that is way too early******
