"The Buck Stops Here"
First, I wish to thank everyone for their participation in this tournament. When the entry forms went out they said the first 1000 wrestlers will get in...We got almost 1200 entryies in two (2) days and I felt I could not turn anyone away.. I continued to accept entries several days after the deadline. I had to learn three new words "Just say No". I had one goal...Pull this off. I had accepted the position of Tournament Director primarily to appease Bill Stanhope, a frend and leader in the wrestling community. I could not let this fail.
Next, I need to thank all of the many people that helped with this ( I can't name everyone, Henry, Sandy, Joselle, Ken, Linny, etc). We could not have done it without all of you, table workers, everyone.
I have had discussions with some of the other local Topeka Clubs to see about the possibility of a "Topeka Tournament" with the resourses of all of the clubs I feel we could run a "Class Tournament" we'll see. Please continue with the feedback cause we can't fix ix...
