I've been sitting and teaching elementary PE from my laptop in my bedroom for 2wks. I got some steam to blow off...
TEAM DUAL EVENTS: STOP SAYING YOU'RE ONE THING, BUT HAVE THE RULES NOT ALIGN
Anyone who's had the time to read my posts knows that I coach a club (not notable or anything). Right now, with the state of the world, Dual Events are becoming more and more prevalent (more matches and easier travel, in my opinion). I love Dual tournaments, regardless of rule set. I thought the Elite 8 Duals in GA were awesome. You know why? BECAUSE THEY MARKETED IT AS AN ALL-STAR TEAM EVENT, AND THEN THEY DELIVERED A &$^@ING ALL-STAR TEAM EVENT.
USA Club Cup, assorted other tournaments... even the Flo RTC Cup: Not so much. They call it "Club Cup" or "RTC Cup", but it turns into asinine "I can pick up this athlete, who can you get?" I had a parent from TX asking to be apart of our Club Cup team. I don't blame them or hold any ill will, but having some ringer from a state hours away that I've never met on my club's "Club Cup" team seems ridiculous. Even the RTC's seem to be picking up free agents for Flo's thing this week.
I'll finish with this. I realize that any time wrestlers are allowed to compete (and/or make money from it) is awesome and we should commend/support it. I'm gonna watch any iteration of duals online because I love wrestling. Just stop pissing down our backs and telling us "it's raining". Call it what it is and hold people to guidelines.
