Here is the rule that permitted the Oklahoma kids to compete in our state qualifying series:
For the purpose of eligibility of entering a Sub-District or District tournament, a competitive member must be a resident of Kansas and/or be enrolled in a Kansas educational school system. Special cases to this rule are subject to notification and permission from the Executive Council. The State Tournament Director will be notified of any person permitted to wrestle under this provision.
If you want this rule changed, you should notify one of your district officers so that they can bring it up at next September's Executive Council meeting.
In the 20 years that I've been active on the Executive Council, either as a voting member or in my current Ex-Officio position, I have seen this provision requested several times, and approved probably 10-12 times. The only times I can recall where approval has been granted is when the wrestler(s) are actively associated with a Kansas club during the regular season, don't have easy access to out-of-state competition, and forgo any competition in their home state's championship series.
