JustAnotherFan Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Don’t let the Matrix number fool you. With the 445 moved over from qualifier registrations there is currently over 700 registered Middle School State. Come get some great wrestling in. Finals will be done early enough to grab dinner afterwards. 14 full mats makes the day go fast ! https://www.trackwrestling.com/opentournaments/MainFrame.jsp?newSession=false&TIM=1643288769018&pageName=%2Fopentournaments%2FViewerInformation.jsp&twSessionId=wjktigooly MUSKEEWRESTLER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafar Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Will we be able to see the registrations roll over first or do the parents have to go in and register for the state tournament first, which will then trigger the roll over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherFan Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Automatically rolled over. They are all already in the track system. You should see all rolled over registered athletes under the Wrestler tab in the event screen. “Registration” is only showing new registrations.

Silence Dogood Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Am I reading right that it costs $20 to weigh in Saturday night... Edited January 28, 2022 by Silence Dogood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherFan Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Yes, started offering an early weigh in option like many national level tournaments do. (Super 32, Grand River Rumble, etc.) a few years ago. Sunday morning is regular weigh in time and obviously costs nothing extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of convenience I guess, but I'm always warry of some parents starting to see events like this become too much of a money grab with the multiple costs and as far as the former qualifier went the huge amount of advancing participants. The events gotta make money, just don't want the hoops and the expenses to get to a point its starting to get less affluent parents to wonder if its worth their kid participating.

Seems like it would be a convenience for the tournament organizers to not have 800 kids weigh in the morning of the tournament… Alternative option - have local hotels and restaurants sponsor the early weigh in… Justin Ratliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleB Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Creates a potential unfair weight advantage and is a money grab. That being said I did it once at GRR and, as a parent, loved it. KLH and Justin Ratliff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was just a way for the tournament to make a few extra bucks. I didn’t see any kids making huge weight cuts here. We wrestled the heaviest we have ever gone here. Even if at walk around weight we will pay the money and just be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It's unfair to not offer a "free" weigh-in on Saturday night. Parents shouldn't be forced to fork over money to weigh-in the night before. This is 100% a money grab. Justin Ratliff, Slop Drop and Roll, QuinnHarris and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Ratliff Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 The first year that they charged for early weigh ins wasn't it used as a fundraiser for Don Johnson's wife/Nate Johnson's mom? I'm 80% sure that is the case. I've had several people ask me if we are going to charge for early weigh-ins for our Diesel City tournament. No, we are not. We are also not going to charge admission for coaches who have an active USA coaching card. We won't charge coaches or parents for a coaching pass. We also only charge $5 for admission. I don't like to see charging for early weigh ins at state events. Or the qualifiers that we should not have next year because no coaches, wrestlers or parents want them. (The majority of indiana wrestling people do not want to have MS Qualifiers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
