I voted against having Sub-Districts for several reasons.
1. Brackets are small...more brackets than not do not even have 4 men in it.
2. Distance...3 hour drive to Pittsburg for Ark City people and if it was in Winfield or Ark City it would be a 3 hour drive for Pitt. Save on food, gas, hotel, wear and tear on the car. Especially for a bracket of less than four.
3. Save Money for the District on medals.
4. Save Money for Parents...not having to pay $20 for Subs and $20 for Districts. Get a family of three or four wrestlers and that is quite a bill. Especially if the $20 is for an empty bracket or less than four wrestlers in a bracket.
5. Evens the playing field. Big Brackets instead of one sub having twelve kids and the other having two.
6. Opens up a weekend where we don't have to wrestle. Could shorten the season if the other three districts get on board.
7. Main Reason...to me it was COMMON SENSE.
I can not come up with a reason where it would benefit the kids or parents of Kansas wrestling. Think carefully before anyone says it gives wrestlers that can't make it to state a sense of accomplishment. I can argue that point all day long.
