Talkwrestle – I will concede that my initial comments and title could be misunderstood, in my opinion and several others there is little doubt this venue holds a higher risk of injury and skin disease. With that said it is important to understand I only would like to see this tournament to be something Kansas can be proud of. Given the number of views and times this topic has come up can you not say it is a concern. Do you know of any other tourney in Kansas with the reputation equal to this one (don’t post it if you do).

As far as your comments regarding Derby’s tourney and as I posted right after the tourney, I welcome all “constructive criticism” and will not make excuses for the areas we fell short in, only a promise that we will work on these and correct them to make it the best it can be. I do not know who you are but am sure I have never received an email or phone call from you sharing your concerns. If you would like to discuss Derby’s tourney I would be happy to discuss it on another topic, email or phone. Lastly, I can promise you this, we as a club will never compromise kid’s safety for profits. Absolutely no way!
