So spot checks

Will they still weight in the morning of the tournament!

I could have one from Johnson Central march 28th or 29th at 4. Not sure how many we'd have but I'd be willing to hold it.

It's not about making the tournament harder. Blues bracket at state had 2 kids that won state in it other than his self. So brackets were alot easier than that. It's about making it have qualified wrestlers in all brackets top to bottom. I'm glad to learn you like our part of the state. I only state the other because it seems you will never listen to folks from our part of the state. If we ever have a suggestion it seems it's thrown down with without any thought. I don't you you either but I would like to get to know you so I wouldn't have all these miss consumptions about you. I feel we have gotten off on the wrong foot. But I believe we both want what's best for all the kids in the state and are passion is coming through.

My experience with Ky wrestling is subject to the last 3 years since Blue has started wrestling.

You make these comments like your God of Ky wrestling. Let me make a bold statement here! Your not. I'm sure you've put a lot of time and love the sport but so have a lot of us. You say no way. How do you know if you've not tried it. As long as you have weight ins 2 weeks prior or later you will have more people lying about weights. It happens. Not with everyone but some. If you weight in the night prior or that morning it takes all the guessing out of it. I know your from the northern part of the state and know all and all us eastern guys don't know a thing. Why I wonder how weve got enough sense to put our shoes on the right feet. No all the kids don't love it. It's a fact they don't. Do many of the kids that aren't skilled enough right now to win a true state championship love it? Sure they do. Our state championship should be about awarding these kids that put day in and day out in the wrestling room working their tails off to win a state championship. So it's ok to award these kids that practice 1 day a week and not the ones that are winning state titles in high school. It boggles my mind I don't get it and never will. Also I'm done arguing with you to. But I don't remembering arguing with you about it in the first place. But so be it.

Weight cutting happens regardless of set up of the tournament. If you think the 10% rule cuts out cutting your wrong. Log jams what log jams. Blue has wrestled at I'm going to say between 80 and 100 tournaments and I have never seen a log jam at weight ins. I've seen some at high school tourneys but never in youth never.

Yeah but it's the 2 that run things in Ky..lol.

Me to but I don't think Ky will change their youth tournament set up for some reason.

Thanks for playing along it makes me feel great. I still think we need set weight classes and weight ins.

Uh oh the post police is here..lol. I was ask a question and it spontaneously grew into a few responses that didn't hurt anything. But there always has to be one in every thread I guess.

Here's another question. If say you have to combine 2 classes, say 60/65 classes. Say there ate 2 from each class. Does then kid get credit for all matches or just the kids that in his original weight class. I ask because I noticed when you combined classes last tournament loses that kids took out of their classes didn't count. So if loses don't count do wins.

Blue wrestled him last year and pinned him. But I'd say throw em all in pile and see who comes out on top ...lol

That's the same thing I'm trying to decide with Blue. I know Blue and your son are tied in points but 1 pin behind. I'd love for Blue to be able to make 70 or the Hobbes I think is his name from Larue kid to bump up( he looks like a big 70 anyway) so they can wrestle. Blue weights about 73lbs and I won't cut him. But he has been sick since last Thursday with a stomach virus that is making him light. I know Blue has had 8 and 6 in his bracket the last 2 weeks. If he can get 3 matches I think he can pull it off but who knows. it's actually closer for us to go to Kingsport also so I've got a tough decision. Yeah David is a tough lil wrestler. He was Blues partner every day Blues first 2 years he wrestled. Blues just always been a little big for David strength wise.

He moved back to Ohio but I look forhim to be back maybe next year. I watched your son last weekend he and Blue were on the same mat. He's a pretty impressive lil guy.

I could probably have one from Johnson Central but it would only have one kid at it...Blue...lol I don't know of any other kid from the eastern part of the state attending. We may have a couple more but I doubt it.

Thanks

It will not let me register on track.

You are correct. Blues just had 5 matches with 4 pins. I'm not a huge fan of the tie breaker but it is what it is.

Thanks how many 70-75lbers are usually there. Thinking about coming up Friday night before the nelson county tourney.

Great job on the updates. Quick question. Will the folks over the third tourney make sure the kids going for the belt doesn't get byes in their brackets if at all possible. If the tie breaker is pins they need as many matches as possible . One more. If a kid wrestles different weights but stays in the same class will his points go to him as he was staying the same weight or does he have to wrestle the same weight? I ask because Blue is close to 70 and he has had the stomach virus since last thursday. So if he loses down to 70 will he still be eligible for the belt. Thanks

What time do you start Friday

Instead of most pins in a tie they need to go by least points gave up by a wrestler over all the 3 tournaments. Sure they can change it. It wouldn't hurt anything. A quick question here. Above it states that if classes are combined because of lack of wrestlers in certain weight classes the winner of those classes can only get 6 points. Is this correct.

I'm sure Johnson Central would be interested in attending.

Blue will be there
