Just curious, how are these teams picked?Do coaches recommend, go by stats, regional representatives, or by one person?

The only reason that we started late was because we allowed some to register the morning of the tournament.  We could have easily said, "sorry, registration is closed."  But with last minute baseball and soccer cancellations because of weather, those kids wanted to wrestle and we wanted to make sure they got that chance.  Big thanks to John Salter for handling all of that because he had to put together 5 tournaments that changed with each new kid.  If you know John, you know tournaments are always on time.  We drove him crazy but he made sure every kid got in.  

Hey, I was certainly not complaining! It's great to be able to have walkups! Back in the day, you didnt know who you were going to wrestle until the brackets were taped to the wall. It was a great tournament. Right now my family is renting, Im still deciding on where we are going to be permanent. I liked what I saw with Blackman. I liked the style of Blackman's fs/g coach. Seems to be in line with what Im use to from up north, passionate.  Still researching..

What the heck people.....are you guys really so ridiculous that you can’t  use “google?”

 

Now you know......now what?

 

Looks like every area is well represented, and looks like the meeting was well attended.

 

Can not see any reason to doubt the Region Directors commitment to bettering TN Wrestling....some of the best, and most dedicated coaches and people I’ve found in my 6 years of TN wrestling.

 

heck, I noticed  Scott was even a non-voting attendee......that means ALL you that have complaints will be involved next time, right?

 

Better yet....contact your Region Director with your concerns.

I think everyone can Google.  I noticed that the following has not seemed to be carried out:

• Use PA’s as a blue print for TWF.
• Scott will add tournament flyers to site if sent to him
• Camps and clinics can be posted on site.
• Meeting minutes will be posted on site.

The website is poor. It is not up-to-date. The tournament schedule is a picture of a printout, and poor quality at that. I also read that the site was suppose to use PA's site as a blueprint. Who does the website? Because it certainly has not had the time spent on it that is needed. (Good luck competing with PA, even on the website.) If I were going to use this website to schedule tournaments, I wouldnt give it a second glance, just think to myself, "wanna bes."

If you all want to grow wrestling down here, things need to be stepped up. There seems to be one person who is trying to be in charge and no one seems to want to work with that person. Why is that? If the majority do not like what is happening, vote to change it. Don't let it keep happening. 

I'm just new here. I saw a good tournament at Blackman this past weekend. It started late, but it was good. As an outsider, I can see things that can be improved upon. Mainly communication. Top down and bottom up. There are guys who really want to grow the sport down here, then you have guys who really want to grow their name/position.

If you are referring to the Keller Classic how would you know how many are registered when you cannot pull up the numbers on trackwrestling?

Sorry should have mentioned what i was referencing. The Bradley coach mentioned the following for the Bradley Invitational.

The 2018 Bradley Invitational is sitting at 29 teams confirmed.

Confirmed teams are as follows: 

Doesnt seem to be to many registered for this tournament, mainly blackman's kids. Bradley invitational looks really good seems they have lots who committed already. Whats the reason that one does and the ironman doesnt seem to have many coming? Does everyone register last minute? 

Does anyone know anything that is going on in this state? Either you have to call this ONE person or you have to do the research yourself. COMMUNICATION seems to be an issue.

Maybe its because Im the new guy.

Thanks, Coach Smith helped me out. Didn't tn's  fs/g season start? Doesnt seem to be very well organized. Is it some sort of secret that isnt shared with everyone. lol We are going to try and see what is at the ironman tournament.

Thank you for your help. Sending it soon.

So all information regarding TN fs/g is on Trackwrestling? (Coaches, upcoming events, camps, etc.?) I guess I was not aware that Trackwrestling is the new billboard for wrestling. In Ohio, they used the usawrestling website to get information out. I thought most other states did to. Thanks for the info. 

I'm new to tn and have a few questions about freestyle and greco. I have tried to find information out on the tnusawrestling https://www.tnusawrestling.com/ website but it seems that nothing is there for the 2018 season. Is there another place I should be looking?  I does not seem that the website has up to date information. Also, where can I find tournaments for this year? Thanks.
