Ya I agree with you guys. If you must delete a single post by all means do it, but taking down the entire thread is wrong. Wrestling is a passionate sport and without input (both positive and negative) we really would not have a means of continually trying to make things a little better.

Don't get me wrong, the level of competition at Salina is first class, and other than the poor officiating the venue really seems to be the big problem. When you break down what the issues were 1.) No Track Wrestling, 2.) The Security and 3.) The concessions, they all point back to the people that run the Bicentennial Center. It seems that the only real way to fix this is to either find another venue or when next year comes around, contact Mr. Zimmerman and confirm that the facility has good internet service for Track, has modified the rules for bringing food and drinks in and he has taken some control of the concessions. If those things are fixed and he rounds up a good officiating crew then he has the foundation of a great event.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the female table worker at Mat 11 needs to be tossed. She sets a horrible example for our kids and has no idea how to control the clock. I was not able to get her name, but could certainly point her out of a crowd if I see her again.

I do appreciate the words of support on this thread and hope that we don't have to have another thread like this next year.

Cheers!
