I am asking this as a serious question to those of you who say that the asking of volunteers for the freestyle/Greco tournaments is odd and not the way it usually is handled...what freestyle/greco tournaments are done any differently?

I have been helping for many years and every tournament has the same format. In the past 5 years I have not been to a freestyle or Greco tournament where this request has not been made. This year the same announcement has been made at Eastview, Apple Valley, St. Francis and Forest Lake. I am betting I hear it at Simley this weekend as well.

The folkstyle season is vastly different and running those tournaments is much easier. While there may be many clubs vying to hold a tournament during the folkstyle season that just is not the case for freestyle and Greco and without volunteers from the wrestling community, these types of opportunities simply will not be available.
We run a youth folkstyle tournament and get plenty of help because we have a bunch of kids out, meaning plenty of parents. We don't hold a freestyle tourney because we only have a handful of kids and, therefore, no support system. I think the freestyle/Greco season is much different. Only a small percentage do it and I don't think they probably have a problem helping out. It's been awhile since I've been there but that's just my thoughts. We also run an NYWA tourney and get all the proceeds so we hire refs. That makes it much easier.
