Can an out of state kid join a Kansas team to compete in our state tournament? Just curious, I have never heard of this before.

I am not the expert on this so my response is just a guess, no. I believe that they would have had to wrestle with a Kansas club during the season and paid for club dues which would cover their membership card.

Kid is out of Missouri, I just saw him in our districts. They just started with the club. Not even sure if they know he is out of state?

This is probably a good question for someone who has more knowledge of this than I do. If he entered your district tournament and has been accepted, there might be more there that either you or I know. He might also be another Quantrill Raider which is totally unacceptable, especially if you live in Lawrence, which I do.

I don't know all the rules either but there is a kid from pueblo Colorado in district 2 @10u67 that is wrestling for young guns now. Two weeks ago he was wrestling in a school league in Colorado??

Should someone contact these clubs? Would it even do any good?

Once again, I don't have the answers to either of these scenarios. I know that someone knows, and without doing some research, I don't have an answer for you. If they just entered the KS State Tournament series without having wrestled here during the year, I am not sure how they could.

Send the names and clubs to your district director and or Mark Stanley and they can look in to it properly.

A few years ago, there was a family/group of kids from the Oklahoma panhandle that wrestled with the Hugoton wrestling club as there was not much for wresting in their area of OK. There was a vote at what I think was the state body meeting as to whether they would be allowed in the state series. It was voted that they were not able to wrestle in the Kansas state series because they didn't have a physical kansas address. I think this same ruling would be in effect in these situations.

I would guess that track has two with the same name. He is in 10u and wrestled middle school this year and last year is highly impossible. I'm not real sure how track sorts them. If it is by USA wrestling card number or just name.

That is highly probable. Especially when you allow parents to enter kids (instead of the person that has been entering them all year) to avoid "clerical" issues.

Might not be the case, but could be.

First of all thanks for remembering sports fan.First I want to Thank!!The Hugoton Wrestling Club for all they have done. I am writing this to inform and let as many people know how UNFAIR the Kansas Board was to 8 wrestlers that belong to the Hugoton Club for the last 3 years. We got a letter from the board of Kansas that we (8 wrestlers ) would not be allowed to enter any of the State tournments this year. On the decision they had made in January. Im fine with that and understand rules are rules but not in the middle of the season when in October we were let in, we bought KS cards paid our dues and did all that we were asked to inorder to be able to wrestle KS.Yes we do live in Oklahoma Panhandle (were there is nothing wrestling wise) but we have never hidden that from no one.We practice twice a week in Hugoton, We travel all of Kanas every week.I understand both sides, and would of understood all of it if they would of told us back in OCT NO!then there wouldnt of been a issue. Ours kids work hard and are in total shock they were given hope in OCT and all that was taken AWAY!!There Season CUT SHORT!!! AND TO ME THATS WRONG!!!!!!THEY ARE KIDS LET THEM FINISH!!!!!!!

This question was ask and answered in 2011. If you don't live in Kansas you don't wrestle in Kansas state series. If Oklahoma couldn't Missouri and Colorado shouldn't either. Step up and follow the rules.
