Any idea on the total number of entries? I counted on track wrestling and got a total of 311!! I hope this isn't right!

I just received an e-mail that the tournament has been postponed until January 16-17, 2010 due to low numbers.

Yes the tournament has been postponed until Jan. 16th and 17th Due to low numbers. It was hard for us to come to this decision, however, we believe that this date will better serve Kansas and those that were planning to attend as well as draw in more competition. Below is a copy of the letter that was sent out to all those that had registered with the tournament: Hello,
First off I want to thank everyone for their entries and their support for Kansas Sprawl Nationals. Unfortunately, Due to an unforeseen Wrestling clinic that is being held the same weekend in Oklahoma a lot of our Oklahoma clubs and kids that were planning on attending and supporting us have decided to attend this clinic in Oklahoma, their 2000 wrestler participants were reached. Obviously we were not expecting to lose these numbers and it hurt our registration total.
Our total registration was about 450 wrestlers. We were expecting about twice these numbers. However, some of the kids that have entered are definantly some of the most elite wrestlers around. With us spending over $8,000 on awards alone and the ability to be one of the best tournaments around we DO NOT want to cancel this tournament. We would like to see all the brackets full though.
With that, we will be pushing this tournament back to Jan 16-17, 2010. This will allow us to get our registration up and provide you with one of the most stacked tournaments around. So we need to know how you want us to handle your entries? If this date is fine with you and you still want to keep your entry in just let us know and we will keep everything as it is and keep you entered.
If you have already sent payment to us and are still wanting to stay in that is fine we will just mark you down as paid. Obviously we would like to keep all the entries we already have if possible and keep the competition growing. However, I know there may be reasons that this new date just does not work out for you. If that is the case please let us know and if you have to pull out and have already paid we will return your entry fees.
Thanks

Good! I would rather see it moved than to hand out trophys to round robin brackets. You need to get with Winfield and see what can be done to work with them as their tournament has been a good tournament also.

Can i make a suggestion i talked to a few oklahoma clubs and they said they would come,but they didnt like the fact that you had to rent a hotel for two nights. Kinda like Kick off classic wiegh in friday wrestle friday night , saturday and drive home that night. With the economy the way it is i think thats the way to go you would get more entries. Just a though. I wont this thing to work.Thats my two cents!

The clinic in Ok is expecting 55 participants, no more than sixty. I believe that thanksgiving weekend had a lot to do with the low numbers, as well as it being scheduled for saturday and sunday with friday weigh - in. I did talk to a few Ok coaches who said it is just much easier to drive to panhandle nationals, stay one night and make it home on saturday evening rather than travel late on a sunday!

What about those of us who bought hotel rooms for two nights through Priceline witch is non refundable? Are you guys going to refund that money? I know that when the numbers were down at Amarillo Nationals Jack Roller did not cancel his tournament because his reputation was on the line. Being wishy washy on your tournament will only hurt you in the future.I want a Refund on my motel $102 for two nights and $30 dollar entry fee.

I Know I live in Kansas and I thought it would be crazy to get a hotel for Friday night and not wrestle until Saturday afternoon. And yes That is a long weekend the day after Thanksgiving. I don't know though that makes for a very busy Jan. Too bad we can't have a bigger tourney in Feb. there is nothing big in Feb.

Van Stanton I don't think the tournament should be held responsible because you used Priceline. The way I see it, if you choose to use a non-refundable reservation service that is on you.

They said they were having the tournament and had been talking about it since Wichita classic last year. Like a dumb ass I believed them. Never would have thought they would have canceled it. It will tarnish there reputation. Unless they make it right we will never go to this tournament.

In all fairness though when was the last time that anyone saw a tournament canceled 4 days before the tourney? I know that when I rent rooms I always try to get the best deal.

Everyone knows the risks of using a non-refundable service going in. I seriously doubt the persons putting on this tournament have any funds with which to make refunds.

I cant believe it was canceled. I have family coming in town for Thanksgiving. They were excited to get to see my son wrestle. What a big disappointment were going to Winfield in Jan. I feel for the people that rented hotels. I think they should put the tourney back on. all in favor say I lol

1. Would people have rather had a tourny where they wrestled 1 or 2 kids??
2. I know some of these guys and I guarantee they will make it right with any one who lost money on hotels. They are very stand up men.
3. This event is for our kids so quit bashing it and get behind it!
4. FYI most people are still supporting it and leaving their entries in.
5. If you have something to say don't hide behind a kids talk forum call them directly and handle it.

Never going to be able to make eveyone happy. On one hand they could of put it on with lower numbers and certain brackets that may of only had 2-3 kids in it, those parents would of been pissed and been on here the next day saying how they cant believe they went and drove X amount of hours and only got to wrestle this many kids at a National Tournament..blah blah
Or like they did, decide to push it back a few weeks and try and get those numbers up and have full brackets with more kids to wrestle and better competition..and your still going to have people mad because the date was moved back??
Its a flip of the coin and I would rather my son have a bigger bracket..
