I was curious what people's feelings were about the video tape rule. A few years ago it was a topic of much discussion.

Recently some matches were taped and posted on to the website Youtube from the Eudora Tournament. Also, sites like Catchitkansas.com have highlights of matches and some partial clips of people wrestling. Flowrestling.com has become a mainstay at major wrestling events like Senior Nationals and I am sure had some coverage of the recent Mid-American Nationals at Tulsa Union. How does the internet affect the rule that KSHSAA and NHSCA has for the filming of wrestling matches?

I believe that the rule is a bit outdated and needs to be dropped. It is virtually impossible to enforce as someone could easily whip out a camera phone to get some footage of a wrestler they may be "scoping out". There is no way to incriminate an anonymous person who post the footage of a wrestling match on Youtube for the whole world to see. It is also rather easy with the network of coaches to swap tapes, computer files, or DVDs of duals and tournaments where they may have people they see later in the season.

Just thought I'd post a topic to help spice the forum up a bit. I'm tired of reading about KSHSAA's ineptitude to post the regional sites. I hope this sparks some intelligent conversation and good debate.
