Folks,
I have been asked to lead a committee to look at if we need to have a clear definition of Novice and then make a recommendation to the state board. The committe has representatives from each of the 4 districts. The people on the committee are listed below.....
District 1: Shawn Budke, Sean McCarthy
District 2: Melissa Shoaf, Charlie Knox, Sarah Hartley
District 3: Lance Engel
District 4: Greg Pelland, Chris Normandin
The committee's goal is to look at a variety of options of how we (the state) would define Novice, look at the pros and cons, and then make a recommendation to the state board. Our intent is to present the options to the state board and then eventually to the state body for a vote.
This topic is designed to get your input and ideas so we can take them into consideration. Please do not turn this into a gripe session about individuals that should or should not be wrestling in Novice tournaments. Please provide constructive ideas so we can move ahead as a state organization.
Feel free to post your comments and ideas on here, PM me, or contact any of the district reps.
We plan on keeping you updated on our progress and the ideas we collect as we move forward in this process.
Thanks for your time and any inputs you may have.
Shawn Budke
