I'm sorry Nigel, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. While I do know that you are correct about the rule, I would not want just anyone coaching my wrestler. Just because someone has a bronze card in their pocket doesn't mean they know a thing about wrestling. This is no joke. I had a bronze certified coach come up to me this year and ask me how many points an escape is worth. Would you want this guy coaching your kid. Only the coaches on our team know my wrestler's strengths and weaknesses. And a good wrestler does listen to his coach. My son went to using the Tornado headgear just for the fact that he can hear me better.

AS for the brackets, I don't agree with "you buy a bracket or you wait until tomorrow morning." If they want to charge for a bracket that is already filled out and ready to go then that's great. I believe our club sells brackets. This sport is already expensive enough without trying to force people to buy a bracket. There is a post right now titled "Can we increase wrestling numbers and interest in Kansas," well if people were a little more corteous to one another that would be a start. Not everyone has money overflowing out of their pockets and if they can't afford one and just want to see it, what's the harm. I know there are people in our club that are less fortunate and can barely afford what few tournaments they do attend.

My wife complains about posts that turn into books so I'll stop for now. Thanks for listening!
