There is no reason to not allow entries up until a few minutes of a seeding meeting. There is no additional paperwork. If a club left a kid off, they would have left him off whether there is a 10 day deadline, or a 2 hour deadline.
When I enter kids on trackwrestling, I copy and paste the entry sheet onto an email, which I then forward to all of my parents. I won't wait until two hours before the seeding meeting to enter most of the kids. I'll do them as I get them. But I want the opportunity to enter that high school kid that was sick of wrestling right after high school state, but then is ready to get back on the mat 5 or 6 days later.
If there is a team stupid enough to show up at the seeding meeting without having entered any kids, well that club should get a new director............
There is no downside to allowing entries up to 2 hours prior to the start of the seeding meeting. Actually, there is no downside to allowing them up to the start of the seeding meeting. Noone says you have to print me a sheet off, and have me sign it after reviewing. Just show me the computer screen, I'll review it, and if ok, you can print it off and I'll sign it. We can save the environment by not having to print off two pieces of paper-one that may or may not be correct, and another with corrections.
Will, you are a huge trackwrestling guy, so just admit that it doesn't hurt ANYTHING to allow entries right up until the seeding meeting. Trackwrestling allows us to do this, so let's do it.
