Would it not be correct to say that if schools are entering their "B" team or Junior Varsity teams the tournament must be registered as a Junior Varsity Tournament and not a Varsity Tournament?  Unless I am wrong if this is registered with the TSSAA as a varsity tournament it will cost the school a tournament date even if they send their JV.

it does not have to be registered as a JV tournament but you are right it will count as one of the 18 dates you are allotted to compete.  my varsity are only wrestling 16 varsity dates so that I can send my B team to 2 varsity tournaments for the experience

Why not just register the tournament as a JV Tournament so that some of the elite teams are not forced to sacrifice a varsity date?

Cbg.....I am not sure who you are or why it matters to you why I made this a varsity event but I will spend a moment to explain it to you. We are building a program. Programs take money to operate. Although Goodpasture is in good shape financially I believe it is important for a sports program, of any proportion, should earn their keep. I believe it helps teach the kids to understand the hand up philosophy instead of the hand out. Running a tournament, as much as a headache as it can be will help our program earn money. If a school has the numbers to support a second varsity squad and they choose to use a date to do 2 events that same day then that is their business. No rules broken here. I commend them for getting their kids mat time. I cannot for the life of me understand why people offer their opinion about things that do not effect them in any way. Maybe they are bored, with it being off season, or maybe they are just being nosey. Either way, with all due respect I will operate my program the way I see fit and you run yours the way you see fit and I promise I will not question your motives if you promise to respect mine. Thank you.

I understand what you are saying but I am not sure that you understand what I am trying to say.  Example:  If Bradley Central, Baylor, Cleveland, etc...are trying to find good events for their JV they could possibly want to attend your tournament but they more than likely do not want to give up two varsity dates.  Everyone knows that those teams often have kids that could reach the state finals but are stuck wrestling behind kids that are state champions.  Good luck with your team!

      Camp season 2024

      By tennesseeannouncer · Posted

      Dyersburg is going to be good, really good. As mentioned, they have a lot of talent on the way and the trio of Chelby, Joya, and KayKay will only be better with a full season together under their belt. To me, playing in Murfreesboro two consecutive postseasons will only serve to make them more dangerous if/when they stand among the final eight teams this March. Experience, good or bad, always makes you better. And not only do they have experience, they know how to win there. Schedules are coming together for all of the teams and I am excited about what I am seeing on the preliminary drafts on Dyersburg’s schedule. I know I am being a tease, but it’s simply not my place to announce what another school is doing. With that said, I won’t go into specifics. However, I am excited about renewed home and away contracts for the non-district portion of the calendar. I think west Tennessee will have a lot of interest as well.

      They struggled to field a team last year. I don’t see them being much better?

      Couldn’t agree more.. Tate is a special kinda player , but fortunately for us we get a best of 3 series. I think our pitching is better than last year when we made the trip to west tn. Should be a fun 2 or 3 games.
