You need to set the site, if its out in west, west, western Kansas, we have to make plans, like request leave, etc. St. James would be great!!!!!!! Close to the population center of the state. But, whatever, pick a place!!!

Yes, I agree St. James Academy would be great since Southern Plains is in Hays. --Balance--

+ you have another good tournament in Manhattan.

I say near Wichita would be great as we seem to have lost tournaments in the area.

A proposal will be presented to host the tournament in the Wichita area.

The site for the 2009 Freestyle/Greco State Championships has been announced. This year's state tournament will be held at Circle High School in Towanda, KS (about 30 miles east of Wichita) on June 6, 2009.

The only specifics are Richard has never hosted an Olympic styles tournament and he will need all the assistance he can find.

I will be meeting with several people this weekend in Topeka to discuss the tournament and will post specifics and a flyer SOON!

The flyer is not yet complete as I am working on satellite weigh-in locations and procedures.

First and foremost - NO MISCONDUCT WILL BE TOLERATED.

Registration and payment will be through Trackwrestling, and has not yet been set up. When set up it will be the wrestler (parent) and / or coach responsibility to verify accuracy of entries.

Greco Wrestling will begin Saturday Morning at 08:30 A.M.(?) and Freestyle will begin approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Greco session.

What I am proposing is NO Saturday morning weigh-in for Greco. If participating in both styles, a wrestler will only weigh-in Friday night at their closest satellite weigh-in location or Circle High School in Towanda, Kansas. Freestyle weigh-in only Saturday morning from 11:00 A.M.(?) to 12:00 P.M.(?).

The satellite weigh-in sites will be determined by each District Director and I will review for acceptance any and all offers to host a satellite weigh-in. Example is if Coach Lane in Fredonia wishes to host a satellite weigh-in or Coach Albright from Chanute will host the weigh-in I will approve these sites. I will expect the satellite weigh-in host to provide the wrestler names and weights Friday evening at the close of weigh-in to me by email. I will be proposing a weigh-in time Friday from 06:00 P.M. to 08:00 P.M.

This is your tournament and I will attempt to provide as pleasant an experience as possible. In order to achieve my goal I will accept comments and suggestions at my email address.

Remember, I am a NOVICE at managing a FREESTYLE Tournament and all suggestions are welcome and will be considered.
