I think I called club directors that are not communicating with their parents via email, or posting entries on the wall in their wrestling room IDIOTS, not stupid, but I'll go ahead and call them stupid also. I don't think there are many that fall in that category, so we should not be insulting too many people with our statements.

I still disagree with the review period. The review period is going on at the same time entries are being put into trackwrestling. I don't think we need a separate "review" period, after the close of trackwrestling. And I disagree with making it even more expensive to wrestle with that penalty of $50

Here is a question for someone: Is there a way to allow access to data from our own club, that we could give a password or something, to our parents, to review the entries after I enter them? Not needed for our club, but for those that think we need it, is that possible. The parent would not be able to change anything, but could see the entries for our club only? For those of you that support releasing entries early, just allow access to the entry data as soon as they are entered. Oklahoma does it this way I believe. I'm ready to give up on my "keep kids from running" rant. One way or another, kids are going to run. We've seen many situation where "scared stiff" dads are asking "what weight are you guys going?", trying to get the inside scoop on how is the best way to get his kid the 8u state championship.

This may be an alternative to your plan. Give us the late deadline, and we give you the open entries, so parents can review them as they are posted. It would also allow parents to, if they don't see their teams' entries, bug the club director to get off his butt and get them entered. Kind of a check and balance. If by Saturday, your club's entries aren't in the system, club director's phone will be ringing off the hook.
