Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Is This Legal?

That is another thing that Pi$$es me off. A valuable tool that trackwrestling is capable of, and we don't use it. If that was used, we could NOT enter a wrong age group, it wouldn't let you.

Do away with the subdistrict signup forms, use ALL of the tools for Trackwrestling, and it will be much easier on the person entering the kids.

Sportso2 have you lost all focus on what this post has evolved into. A kid - who worked hard all season - lost the chance to try and qualify for state - because an adult made a mistake. It was pointed out before wrestling started and because of our rules - he could not wrestle. You said Ned should not appologize for this. Even though it is not his fault, the rule needs to be amended and Ned as the person in charge should appologize - not take blame. Now it just needs to be changed. I would believe we should give our e-board the power to correct situations where adults make a mistake and a kid suffers. I really feel for this dad. I understand his anger, but lets direct it at fixing the problem and Doug has a good idea.

On the other kid, let him wrestle and lets drop a 2 year old mistake. Probably another accident made by an adult - that could not be reported because he would lose the chance to wrestle.

Track wrestling is only 2 years old(here anyway). Last year the majority of the clubs that used TW were dry running it because they were going to be hosting a sub or district event later and needed to get familiar with it. Be patient, all the bells and whistles will start being utilized as we go.

Hopefully after we all know how to get the most out of TW these problems will be caught in time.

You've got that right! I lost track of what all this thread was about a long time ago. But that doesn't change my mind about rules or the rules being less important than any one kid or kids. If the rules need changed then change them, but don't say we need to bend or break them in the interim. Many kids have been disappointed over the years due to mistakes made by adults. Believe me, I've had to apologize to both parents and kids for mistakes I have made. In those situations you do a meaculpa and move on. Like I said, I have lost track of what exactly this mistake was and do not care to have the story repeated but I also haven't seen a good way to fix what I perceive happened.
Ned has nothing to apologize for, any more than the rest of the executive council does.
