1. Waiting until Nov meeting could result in a less than stellar turn out for the tournament this summer from KS wrestlers. I am fairly confident that this is the last thing we want to have happen.
2. When we discussed this at the Nov meeting this year it wasn't really discussed in my opinion. We talked a little bit about it and then it was decided to table it for the Executive session. I do not feel confident that the majority of the clubs or representatives at the meeting really got to contribute their thoughts. This is not meant to be a slam on anyone or the process, it's just the way it was.
If we are going to wait until next year to re-address the issue then I recommend the districts put it on their agenda for the district meetings. That way the districts can vote on it and then at the state meeting more clubs will feel represented.
I agree with 24/7 in that the decision has been made and we will deal with it. However, as I stated in my ealier post (before the vote), I will have a hard time strongly enocuraging maximum participation from the kids in our club. I will tell them that it is availabe but if parents ask me for a recommendation on whether to go to a college camp or spend their money on the southern plains I will have to recommend the college camps.
I still think it is a shame that we will lose participation in the tournament because of the camp requirement. I'm sorry, but I still don't understand the justification for the requirement.
