That is the way it should be and always has been. Great job D4, although it sucks for you guys since your drive might be 4 hours to make weight just to get a medal and an empty bracket. Follow the rules!
You sir, are WRONG!
Absolutely NOT true DannyB. If you are in a bracket with 4 or less you may choose to get your weight certified by the District Director off site or at another competition. You may then default to 4th, 3rd, 2nd, or 1st depending on the number in your bracket. It was approved by the Executive Director and is NOT contrary to the Bylaws. I know this for a fact. It is RIDICULOUS for us to make a family drive any number of miles at $.58 a mile to weigh and collect a medal. This whole thing is beyond absurd. No one is looking out for the best interest of our wrestlers and families in D4. It is WAY beyond a time for change out there. ie, I can't wait to see the officials you bring...
Easy Hoss, I would have done that for several of the past years had I only educated MYSELF, however, why can't we satellite for subs, and district, with district official then? Same thing right? By-laws don't mean crap! I agree with you 100% why drive at $.58 a mile for a medal, or a hotel room, which cost $39.00 (at least where I stay). So let's have change, but let's do it with votes, in a meeting. And by the way what the hell does my officials have to do with this conversation?
