    Ahh but the majority is not always right.  I have been around longer than I can remember and I have seen that most of the time the coaches vote for what is best for THEIR team not the whole. If you have ever been to a seed meeting it is most evident.  Coaches will vie and strategize what is best for their team to win the tournament.  Some will vote a kid into a higher or lower seed so that this will happen.  I've even seen them use this strategy with their own kids.  

    In a perfect world there would be a committee that is dedicated to what is best for wrestling period, to make the decisions.  Not everyone will be happy with any decision made.  Sometimes decisions must be made that does not help the majority of teams but is better for the future of wrestling. 

    But I am an old senile "never was" so what do I know. 

    As usual these are the opinions of GOO nothing more nothing less.  You can take them or leave them in the grand scheme of things it really does not matter. 

    GOO OUT

    GOO you have a point however as a non profit organization we must abided by certain laws as to how we operate.

    Yes I know the argument is the loss of team points for the #1 seeded wrestlers.  I have struggled with this also. I have always thought that if the bye is placed then the wrestler should get pin points for the bye.  If the bye is a random draw then no pin points allotted. 

    This makes sense to me because you are already conceding that they would win the match and most likely pin a much lower seed anyway. And why not reward a regional champion? 

    GOO

         What you say makes sense however we are a bodyof coaches, 1 person or even the board does not make the rules. They are adapted and adopted by the body thats what sets us apart from the other wrestling organization that shall not be named. We as the board do have some power to override if it is necessary  however that should only be the case.

    To be fair, you would have to know when those meetings are in order to attend. 

    Those meetings are the same every year and posted in the By laws which every coach was rrequire to sign an acknowledgement form that they read them. The only thing that changes is the Venue for the meetings. The spring meeting was posted in the coaches forum and sent out via list serv to all MS and Youth coaches well in advance  of  the meeting with the venue and time.    

     

    Bylaw 3. Meetings The KFWC will hold two statewide meetings annually. The meetings shall be held on the 3 rd Sunday in April & the 3rd Sunday in September each year. Meeting site shall be located centrally within the state of Kentucky at a public location adequate in size. The time and specific location of meetings shall be announced on KFWC website (http://www.kentuckyusawrestling.org/page/show/1031369-middle-school-elementary) at a minimum of 30 days in advance. The KFWC president shall send out email notification to all member teams 1 month in advance, provided a valid email address is on file with the KFWC.

    I understand that however this was proposed and will be voted on by the coaches. As of now its not a set thing. again the point of this to to try and eliminated as many byes as possible at the state tournamment. I a parent or wrestler has any issues with something they read in the minutes, I would highly suggest they urge their caoches to attend the Spring and Fall meetings and make their voices heard.

    1st Annual DC Big Brother Duals           Daviess County High School     Owensboro KY

    FEB 1st 2020

    We had 10 high school teams last year this year it will include middle school teams as well those 10 teams will have first choice but some don't have middle school teams. If you are interested in getting your team in let me know so I can add you and get you paired up with a high school team without one. Cost is $175 per team or $300 for both.

    Coaches,

     

          I would seriously Caution setting any tournaments for this date as it is our fall back for OUR State Tournament.  We were informed at the spring meeting by the outgoing board they had not secured a new location for State Tournament and the the new board and the Coaches present at the Spring meeting voted to find a new venue with March as Primary date but February as secondary date. The board is currently in negotiations for a couple venues, details are being worked out.

    We struggled to find Middle School events last season that weren't already full.  With the extension to the season, can we post possible tournaments in one spot? Even if you know of out of state tournaments it would be extremely helpful.

     

    Attached is a running calendar I will update as events come in.
