tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 I was under the impression that this was at John Hardin? Also, are those weight classes right? I saw where they started at 45 and went up to 230 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbfraz 8 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 John Hardin had a scheduling conflict. These are the weight classes for USA national duals, so they are the ones we will be using since that is the tourney the team will attend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nkawtg 137 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 If a kid signs up, but is a pound over, can he bump up to the next class and compete for that spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbfraz 8 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Yes but please make every attempt to register them in the correct class. Everything will run much smoother if we don't have a lot of last minute changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chadmack282 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Weigh in with singlet on or underwear ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.W. 21 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 Great question. Weigh in will be in singlet at Heartland and this will be put out to the team once this tourney is over. For this tournament since we did not clearly state I will allow either since Kentucky usually runs on underwear. The difference for most sumblimated singlets is a 1 to 2 ounce difference so should not drastically effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 24, 2014 Hope to see a great turnout this weekend at Taylor Co. Saw some very competitive weights this weekend and would imagine even more at this tournament. Team KY is a great experience for the kids and parents and coaches to learn and improve and have a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louisville 4 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Other than age, are there any other restrictions? Are middle school state placers eligible for Youth Team KY so long as they meet age eligibility, or will they be steered towards Middle School Team KY? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 The only restrictions are age and grades 1-6. As for MS vs Elementary that is your choice. Being a little biased and wanting to see the MS team compete as well as possible, I want the best kids available on that team, especially in Danville, IL. When both teams go to iowa going down to the youth team is an option if you have earned that spot this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Duke 284 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Numbers are still low. When will the determination be made to go forward or cancel? I just cant justify driving 3 hours one way staying in a hotel for my boys to wrestle one other kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbfraz 8 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 From what I hear, there are a lot of kids/teams planning to register that haven't yet. If you plan to attend, please register your kids. There is no reason to hold off until the last minute. That's what causes so many tournaments to get canceled. We want to see as many kids show up as possible in order to get this team off the ground.

heightsdad 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 If a kid makes the team, are there practices that are centralized, is the entry fee just for the one tournament? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 There will be a couple practices. Centralized is a relative term. The fee includes registration fee and team gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 FYI, you do not have to pay when you pre-register. You will pay on site on Saturday. So don't let that prevent you from signing up. Also don't sit back and wait for so many kids to show up on the list before registering as well. That's how events die; everyone waiting for others to sign up.

uk_rebel33 4 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 If a kid weighs 80.4 or even 81 can he still try out for the 80 spot or will that bump him up to 85? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbfraz 8 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 They will have to bump up. We need to know they can make weight in mid April, so it's important to make for the trials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aiatt 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 According to the email that went out to the coaches, there's one more day to register. Come on Kentucky! Let's give these kids an experience they'll remember for a lifetime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrstlrsdad 5 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 24 signed up so far. I hope more take interest, if not I know myself and 3 others that will back out. not worth the drive or money to wrestle once, or to get down there and be told not enough participation so its not going to happen...

sbfraz 8 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 It's time to get registered. There is no reason to hold off. At least enter your kids. If you find there is too much competition at that weight class, just change classes. Track doesn't lock you in once you register. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Duke 284 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Imo the location of this event has killed it before it had a chance to get off the ground. If this was in a central location we would see more parents involved. It should have either been in Lexington or Louisville. It doesn't have to be held in a gym. The only thing needed is a practice room with two mats down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbfraz 8 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Central is a relative term, the geographical center of the state is actually located on the campus of Campbellsville University, so you can't really get more central than that. However, I understand your point in regards to population. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keepyourheadup 10 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Well I would say most probably the kids that have signed up are pretty good is there kids signed up in each weight class if so can't we make a team out of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
