Speaking of the Kansas College Fund. Who is the acting chairman of it now? The KCWF has been dissolved. The USAWKS board made a decision on the funds and that information will be posted when the 2/5/17 USAWKS board meeting minutes are posted. Where are the funds that were put into it? See previous answer in red. When is there going to be another fund raiser for it?At this time the KCWF is not a functioning organization. This was a decision made by Shawn McCarthy. I see you decided to run your tournament and send funds directly to Ft Hays but no other school. The KC Storm Club has alternated the beneficiary of the tournament from KCWF to the FHSU Bob Smith Wrestling Endowment from year to year.
Extras would be the number of teams we are sending to these events. Some teams should not be funded entirely every year. Why not reuse singlets and gear?NO TEAM is funded entirely by USAWKS funds. Each team function requires an entry fee to be paid by the athlete. Are you explaining what Shawn meant by his question or is this an alias for Shawn? Why buy new every year? The practice of letting athletes keep singlets and gear has been pretty consistent at the special event level across the nation. I am not saying it is right or wrong but it has been a Kansas practice for more than 10 years. The state body or USAWKS board could overrule this practice but I believe it is a part ot the incentive to participate.Each year we have been adding more and more teams to the National Teams yet our overall numbers are down. Numbers down equals less money with more going out. Where are the funds coming from when more goes out than coming in? The budget is developed and voted on each season. We strive for break even based on the previous year's income and spend but we have a healthy balance in savings so we have invested more in events for USAWKS members to participate in. Income is derived from other areas such as tshirt sales, excess gear sales, Kids state tournament, other state tournaments, so it isn't just about card members only. Spending is also scrutinized. With the great number of additional college programs in Kansas the board had to evaluate how much money it was donating to these programs as they are NOT contributors to the income line for USAWKS.
Profits from tournaments are used to pay for renting a wrestling room and use of facilities. When was the last time you payed for usage of the school? The purpose of this question was to allow Mr. Cabin the opportunity to show his P&L as required by the events he has decided to criticize and make false claims and accusations about.
Looked all through the blogs and found NO complaints of violation of fire codes. The only tournament I remember in violation was the District 1 tournament years ago when it was held at MNU.
Last matches at the Johnson County Kids Classic were completed by 3:30 p.m. for the last 4+ years.
If you all want to have a pissing match, by all means go ahead. Pick a better location than here. Try the state body and district meetings. So is ATH618 and Smokey Cabin one and the same?? Mr. Cabin has started this pissing match and I attend the above stated meetings. I am simply defending the events I am involved with. The events that MR. Cabin seems to know SO SO much about. So much that he feels to freely LIE about them
