I've got one kid wrestling and I'm looking forward to the day we're no longer involved, so no, I've never volunteered, nor do I plan to. I'm not sure about the other folks volunteering b/c I haven't asked them, only heard them talking. Again, it means little to me in the long-run. We are a first generation family that thinks the world of the sport, but there's a lot that ain't quite right about KS wrestling, even the biggest proponents of it are on here trying to "fix it". Good for them and thanks to them.
Thanks for your service to USAWKS.
Yep, I've already drawn out the brackets that I'm most interested in, ya know, since I can't print them ahead of time like I did for all the other districts. I print them as a fan. As a father, yes, I know the other 7 kids in our bracket and where they're placed.
D3 was called out on the forum last year for not posting their information. That's what I meant by "different".
Not interested in the HS division, but thanks. I'm sure my big girl panties would offend some ppl if I wore them to the district tournament.
Lord willing, my son will have a great finish to the season and decide to come to the other side (BJJ), where egos are left at the door.

P.S. You know what teamropin' and pickin' your nose have in common? Everybody does it, but nobody likes to watch it.
So don't be part of the solution but stand back and complain. Make sense....
You are correct in there are things that are great about the kids series, but it is a better organization as a whole (even with hiccups) than states that have corruption and money stealing in the group. So it could be a whole lot worse.
We are trying to improve the kids state series with options of changing it, for the betterment of the sport. There are a few major hurdles with doing some of the suggestions but we have been trying to find ways around them.
I think you mistake some people emotion with ego, wrestle is an emotional sport if you haven't noticed. Emotions turn to passion later in life for some of us and in is different than an ego. I am not sure what (BJJ) is but good luck with that.
As far as your team roping joke, that one is so old the first time I heard it I fell off my dinosaur.
