  1. hoosier, that is why I urge everyone to discuss these kinds of issues with direct contact with that person. I have read the entire thread and I know where it began. Embarassing yes for all that are involved, that is why I suggest that matters like these are best discussed between the 2 parties involved.
  2. Mr. Squad,no one has ever claimed that the world of TNAAU as you put it is perfect nor will it ever be because there is no way to ever make everyone happy with what a person or an organization does. There will always be critics,much like yourself. Criticism can be very good and constructive. It pushes us to keep making improvements and address the areas which there seem to be a concern or a problem. We always have and hopefully always will. I even looked into your complaints concerning each and every issue of a tournament held in Pigeon Forge a couple of monthes back. From complaints on the officials to the deer chili which you detested so much. What I found out: The Officials: the assigner of officials had 4 refs back out of calling the event on very short notice, 3 of them the day before and all of them certified TSSAA officials.. He called several more but due to prior committments or illness other TSSAA officials could not be hired. So was the options: go with 8 refs on 6 mats. Could have done that, but the event would not have ended until about 10-11 PM Saturday night. Or option 2, go with 3 of our local AAU Officials, (have a TSSAA official or Tournament Committee person observing the new/younger ones as an extra set of eyes) and run all the mats with 11 officials. The decision was made to do the latter. The Deer Chili: I looked into this matter as well. I am a very good cook and I make a dang GREAT chili, so I consider myself an expert. I tried the deer chili and it was wonderful. Had great flavor and texture! The only complaint I had for the Chili is it was not spicy enough (anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE FOOD THAT IS SPICY!) So Mr Squad, keep doing what you are doing. If you see something that TeamTN can do better or if you observe something that is being done wrong, please identify it for us. This way we can keep improving what we do and how we do it. Also, the invitation that I extended to you 2 monthes ago still is open. If you really want to be involved but feel that your opinion is not wanted, just call me: 865-755-7872. The offer then was a sincere one as it is now. I was really looking forward to learning more about Track Wrestling and you stated that at one time you tried to share this information with TeamTN and no ne would listen. I will listen and I want to learn more about it.
  3. Things happen when emotions run high. Things get said, that do not display a persons true character at times like this. It just does not serve our sport well when we have individuals (regardless of what the letters of the organization are they belong). You are quick to judge people based on an emotional outburst or two. You do it it to keep things stirred-up. I recognize this because I too do this on occasion but not as often as I used to. I realized what a waste of time and effort it is (but I know it can be enjoyable for a giggle or two for the one who stirs it up). This is one reason why I stated that it would be better for all involved (the individuals and the organizations they too: TeamTN AAU, USA, AAA, Republican Party, Democratic Party, Baptist Church or any church,, NRA, NAACP, PETA, ...whatever organization they belong to) would just get together and discuss the situation and resolve the situation. Like people used to. It still works.
  4. I understand shaner, what I suggested is that its time to end this discussion on here and get together in private and discuss this matter. It does not do any good for anyone involved or not involved to air this type of discussion on a public forum. john Salter's contact info is out there, just google his name and a wrestling flyer will come up with the info.
  5. Interesting! I will bring it up at the Spring meeting! I like it the idea.
  6. Rarely does a K wrestle a 5th grader. Usually, the weight classes match up within 2 years of age of the participants. I urge all of you on here to please stop this type of discussion/banter on this public forum. It is accomplishing nothing and is not deserving of quality of men that I know some of you are. Discuss it in person. Make a phone call. Email each other. I have known and worked with John Salter for many years. Most things we agree on and some we did not but we always could discuss it like men (not on public forums). He has done many things for the sport in his area and the state.
  7. I believe the plan as of now is to have the Medal Matches begin as soon as the 5th place matches fro each session have ended. So the last matches of the day will be the medal matches.
  8. We are working with Track to set up a seeding/seperation criteria based on this years Regional Results. There is discussion under way about wrestling for a true second at this years event. One reason the brackets are not complete is because no one has registered yet. We wanted to get the separation criteria set before we have wrestlers sign up. Hopefully by tomorrow PM, all will be posted and sign-ups will begin. No John Salter is not quitting nor is that the reason why the brackets are not posted, If you want to view what kids will be in a bracket go to Track Wrestling, all results are posted on there. Once the separation criteria is set, Track will place the wrestlers where they go. One challenge has been with the odd number of regions, for one, for me anyway. The finals will be showcased. The round-robins will be a challenge to be showcased due to you really don't know what round will end up being the match for first and second.
  9. The correction has been made. Thank you for making us aware that the mistake had been made.
  10. Someone thought they hit the 8 but did not. It will be corrected.
  11. TeamTN will be posting the matches on Track for the TSSAA. They wanted to get a feel of how it would run. As of now, they will not be scored live, but instead will be entered as the bout sheets are turned in to the head table. Several people have volunteered to enter the results. The Div I Bracket is complete on Track. I will have the Division II Bracket posted sometime before Wednesday. We had planned on doing it today but I have a plumbing problem that has to be addressed first.

  14. I took the cell phone to my nearest U.S. Cellular dealer and they are going to contact customer service in the hopes to get the phone back to the owner.
