It would be nice if the "hosting" team would take a few minutes and share who the "attending" teams are for their event.

National Guard Duals..............who is coming?

WSAZ.................who is coming??

Winner's Choice.............who is coming???

Cameron Tournament.........................who is coming????

Williamstown Tournament....................is anybody still coming?????

Last season I asked a couple of times what teams were attending a particular tournament. I asked 2-3 times. No response. All of us were left in the dark. HOWEVER, it was brought up at the coaches meeting on tournament day that they didn't announce who the attending teams were going to be because "Bearhugger asked". This was shared to me by a coach who was in the room.

Come on guys!!!!!!!!!

Not to far ago in the past, most WV duals, quads, and bracketed tourneys were announced, posted teams attending and when completed, posted scores. Not sure why this is not taking place. It's tough to be able to determine the best in each weight class, tough to figure out the top ten teams or so when these results are not displayed. It's not that hard to do so.

That was the jest of my post on the tournaments this weekend on another thread. I listed the teams coming to the South Classic in hoping that others would do the same for the other tournaments.

How do you draw interest to your event if the teams attending are not listed and any promotions for your event are not done?

Effort is becoming extinct in our society.

Upon further review, I am going to the Cameron Tournament where the action will be. Based on what I have heard, I better assemble a dog sled team and take a week's worth of food...........but I am going.

Pit stop on January 5th at the National Guard duals mainly to see what teams attend.

See you January 10th at Jumbos.

1. Thank you for the list. This tournament is even better than I thought.
2. Isn't this a one day tournament?

Be sure and swing by and visit us Braxton boys at Nat Guard Duals. In spite of what you may have heard we really are a friendly bunch

I have a team list for NGD but am not sure how accurate it is. Indy B usually attends and they are not on my list, so it may not be a complete list.

The Cameron Tournament is a one day tourney. Cafeteria/concessions are available and good food by the Boosters/parents. Wrestling typically starts about 10AM. At least so in the past and the tournament is usually finished around 6-7PM. A very good tournament with some excellent talent.

Johnson Central was brutally good a few years ago. In particular they had a 170 that was a high level, national caliber wrestler, as well as a few others that had placed at national tournaments. I believe they were KY state champions.

In another post, It says that George Washington will be attending the South Classic. Above it says they will be at the National Guard Duals. Which is it and why the confusion? I had heard they had committed to wrestling at Douth Classic.

how do they pick the pools in tournaments the size of the WV Guard Duals? Just random??

Philip Barbour will not be there.

Their schedule on the front page says the South Duals. Maybe coach Neal can confirm.

Coach Doyle had the teams listed on the front page as did the South Classic. If you put a link to your tournament on the front page, be sure you can access it and list the teams. This helps everyone know the teams attending.

Thanks!

I'd imagine they try to "seed" them. 6 pools of 6.
2nd day, pool winners are in a pool, runner-ups are in a pool, etc.
Everyone places 1-36.
Looks a few teams short this year.

I just noticed Moeller, OH on that list. Very tough team...
