Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Freestyle/Greco Kansas Freestyle/Greco Roman State Tournament

1. Nobody in Southeast Kansas volunteered for a Satellite weigh-in.

2. The weigh-in was set by the State; the times were set by Rose Hill. After Freestyle weighs in they can eat then relax a little before competing.

I guess if you live in North Central Kansas you get to spend the money on a hotel room or tell your wrestler that you can't afford to go because of the weigh-ins and where they are. Hope the wife can find a way to squeeze an extra $100+ out of our budget so I don't have to explain why my son can't wrestle at the State Tournament.

There are six weigh-in sites, that is five more than what you get with the Folkstyle State Championships. You live 87 miles from Topeka, there are a lot more people across the state that have to travel a lot farther than you do.

Thanks in advance to all the volunteers.

What I'm really trying to say is this is not the right way to get more kids involved in GR/FS. There was a club within half an hour of us that volunteered and wanted to do a Satellite weigh-in and they got turned down. With all the talk on here about ways to improve Kansas wrestling I guess I just expected more.

Yes Folkstyle States does only have one weight-in site. You can also weight-in Saturday morning. Plus it's a two day tournament so you are planning on a hotel anyway but have the option of not getting one Friday night if you can not afford it.

What is the location of the Satellite weigh in for Hutchinson?

Do you have to preregister for this or can we just show up and weigh in and pay for the tourny on Saturday??

My understanding at the Satelite weigh-ins is they had to be pre-registered. We are not ordering registering & doing new USA cards at Satelite sites. I thought registration ended at 3:00pm Thursday according to trackwrestling site.

You must pre-register, we will not take day of sign-up's.

Registration ends - Friday 05/07/2010 - 03:00 p.m. C.S.T.

The Hutchinson satellite weigh-in will be at Hutchinson High School. It will be in the North Gym - you will need to park on the west side (east side is closed due to construction).

The Hays Satellite weigh-in will be at Hays High in the wrestling room from 6:00 - 7:30 on Friday. Make sure you are registered through trackwrestling.com Don't forget if you do weigh in on Friday then you have to wrestle Greco.

Question on the flyer it says they are selling usa wrestling cards there. So im on track wrestling and it say either inter your usa wrestling card number wich i was going to buy there or online membership id wich i dont have. What do i do ?

Mike, I thought your nephew wrestled kids program this year? He should have a USA card already....

What is the procedure if you are the only one in a weight?

1) Make weight during the weigh in time.
2) Show up at the tournment.
3) Collect medal(s) and go home.

My youngest had this situation last year. We tried to get some exhibition matches but the tournament was too tight to allow time for those. A vote by the board sealed the fate. A majority voted to keep age and weight classes intact. No combining. Personally I would like to see Madison Block wrestling with four or five man round robins.

long drive for 0 matches.

We wrestled up a weight class last year!! If this is not allowed this year it will hurt numbers at the tournament. Please let every one know before these rumors keep people from coming.
