As I depart my post as a club president after this year just a suggestion from the front lines:

Make online cards happen! This is a hassle having to send in spreadsheets, pay online and waiting for an e-mail confirmation of a card number (or worse by mail). I have taken 2 calls tonite from friends who have clubs asking about the process of getting high school wrestlers cards on short notice. I'm glad I could help them out and answer their questions, but it should be as easy as a link to a website, parent pays online and gets an immediate card to print out...if clubs want to do it the old way, let them, but let the rest of us use technology available to make the whole process easier. This will also ensure that there is no risk to clubs regarding pending card numbers ...if you don't have a card number you don't wrestle!

Just my thoughts as I spend my last week signing up kids for tournaments.
