The scoring will correlate to the number of kids your club has wrestling at the state tournament which most likely will correlate directly with the number of kids you have in your club. Team score has always been an informal tradition as there are no rules or bylaws for this. The traveling trophy was created to memorialize Greg Grater's contribution to Kansas wrestling. Thus the the name Grater Cup with the names of the teams winning it added each year sort of like the Stanley Cup in hockey.

It seems now that this trophy has polarized our clubs as most do not have a shot at winning it.

I would like to see some suggestions as to how we could do this differently without disenfranchising any of our kids who are members of their respective clubs.

Should we have a small club cup? How would you define a small club verses a large club?

Should we cap the number of entries you can have on one club at subs meaning that you might have to have a East KS Team 2, for example.

Just looking for some outside of the box ideas to promote Kansas Kids wrestling.
