@CPyles8 Not as bad as charging to let you take a picture of your kid on the podium.

@CPyles8 Looks like the official was not wearing a buzzer. Can't tell for sure, because he might have had it in his pocket. The presence of a tapper also indicates he wasn't. I have to ask why not? At a tournament of this caliber, I would expect he would.

Using only Microsoft Copilot - no Excel, no coding, I was able to generate this:

I wanted to share a trick I just learned. Sometimes you want to see how many participants are registered for an event in Trackwrestling. So you go to the event and find a screen that looks like this:

@FrontierCare I'm considering buying GO WILD passes for my family, but I'm concerned about availability. I don't want to pay $600 each only to find out that there are never any flights available to the destinations we want to go to. How can I find out more about availability?

@damone_mike Oh Debbie... Hi.

[Matt Petersen @petersenkid2]

Perhaps the best part about working a regional tournament like Northern Plains is meeting new officials and learning and teaching.

A friend shared a couple of photos from IL Freestyle State. This week, USAW Northern Plains Regional in Wisconsin Dells.

[Matt Petersen @petersenkid2]

IL/USAW Freestyle State was a tough event. 13 hours on the mat on Saturday. Back at it Sunday morning. Congrats to all the Fargo qualifiers.

I had a conversation with a coach recently about this. If the attacking wrestler steps into the protection area (out of bounds) but completes his throw, he is rewarded with the score, not penalized for a step out.
