Derek,
Thanks for putting on a great event and for listening to suggestions. Coming from the Missouri side, the closest satellite weigh-in was 45 min-1 hour away, and in rush hour traffic, from Greater Heights, Victory and Grindhouse (the 3 MO teams that brought wrestlers to the event). I contacted you last year and this year about hosting a satellite weigh-in or allowing one of the other clubs in the Northern part of Kansas City to host a satellite weigh-in closer to where the core of your MO wrestlers are coming from. Any of the 3 clubs are established clubs with coaches that have been entrusted and respected enough to host satellite weigh-ins for tournaments. I can understand your reservation initially not knowing these clubs but we have been coming and supporting your event now for 2 plus years so please consider having a Kansas City, Missouri weigh-in and not ones just in Kansas. I promise you that you will get more Missouri wrestlers to compete in the event if you do and you will get the ones who have been coming - coming back again.
As for the coaching passes and such, those seem like issues you have already have in your sights so there is no need to rehash them.
