There are many family members who work, former team members and many others who may even be out of state that would like to follow their team.
Be assured, I was never worried.

The tournaments providing online updates are providing a SERVICE to the non paying fan. It is not a right, but a privilege granted by the host school to provide online updates. The problem with providing the service is if and when the internet service goes down, there is constant complaining from those who are sitting in front of their keyboard. The responsibility of the tournament host is to the coaches and wrestlers competing at their regional and to paid attendees. The tournament manager has NO responsibility to be a good host to the casual fan sitting on the couch with their laptop close by.

Much like this talk forum, which is free to the vast majority of users but is paid for by the membership of USAW Kansas Wrestling.

Congratulations to your son for advancing to the finals and qualifying for the 4A State Championship Tournament next week in Salina.
