Am I the black cat of wrestling officials? I do plenty of volunteer work for the wrestling community. I have helped run practices, help run tournaments, supervised wrestlers on out of state trips, and worked with several organizations on the back side of wrestling. I do most of my Fs/G officiating for free also (the money I save Team Georgia goes to help fund wrestlers). I do get paid when I officiate most folkstyle events. Make no mistake about it, I enjoy it, but I do want to get paid. I was double booked for both the JV King of the Hill Tournament, and a USA Youth Tournament at Peachtree Ridge. I was told to go to the USA event, so I contacted Danny only to find out that the tournament was canceled due to the basketball team making the playoffs. Oh well, I would still get to see some good wrestling that weekend.
Next I got booked to officiate at Oglethorpe on the same weekend. I contacted Dustin, and got the tournament information. Friday before the tournament he called to inform me that it was canceled due to the impending snow storm. Oh well That shot that oppertunity.
I have since been booked to work this Friday at Social Circle. So far, so good for the quad on Friday night. I was also booked for a youth tournament on Saturday. The numbers for the tournament are very low.There are still less than 50 wrestlers signed up. More bad luck.
Somebody does not want me to buy that Smart car from tricky Tom.
