Our club had a deadline set for sign ups that was prior to the deadline for the official sign up. We handed out club forms and requested information from all the HS wrestlers at the Regional Tournament if they did not qualify to go on to High School State. We have several sign up that night after their HS season was officially over. The week following Regionals we had more contact us and sign up...we have 3 practices a week and we made an effort to contact all parents and wrestlers in a timely fashion so that all had the opportunity to think it over and still get signed up for the State Series. I know that hearing that a few kids missed the deadline it would be easy for it to happen. Parents need to step up and be aware of sign up time lines for tournaments. Thru out the entire Kids season their are deadlines for each and every tournament. The club person in charge of sign up can only do so much. They should not be required to babysit parents that want thier kids involved in tournaments. This deadline issue is not new. The deadline has been in effect for as long as I can remember for this series. How ever it happened it was a disappointment to the child the most.
