Please submit the names of all the wrestlers on your team that may be coming to Texas. We would like to do individual name cards by school like the ones at the National Duals. They are expensive and get more expensive the later we have to go to print so the earlier the better.

Weigh-in sheet names submitted by January 1, 2008

This is a corrected list of names for us to generate the weigh-in sheets. Please try to list all the wrestlers you will bring and put them at the lowest weight class you anticipate them competing.

These sheets will be brought to the coaches meeting on Friday evening, January 4th at the Hilton Arlington. This meeting begins at 8PM in the hospitality room on the 2^nd floor. Corrections will be made at that time (see below).

Exhibition matches can be handled on the mats at the conclusion of the duals, time permitting.

College Coaches meeting Friday night at 8PM, January 4th, 2008

We will have a short meeting in the hospitality room on the second floor of the Hilton. Please have at least one coach in attendance to make corrections to the weigh-in sheets, discuss weigh-ins and competition on Saturday, and meet the head official, Jim Ramirez.

High school competition will be underway at the Coliseum all day on Friday so we will try to make the meeting brief.

The hospitality room will be open Friday and Saturday from 6PM and is available to coaches, officials, and staff.

College Weigh-ins Jan 5 ^th at 7AM!

We will have weigh-ins at both the Hilton (2^nd floor) and the Coliseum (freshman gym). It is helpful if the teams competing in Session 1 (8AM) will weigh-in at the Coliseum so we can start promptly at 8.

There will be HS competition going on in Session 1 as well, so it is always a challenge to get started on time. We have managed it every year and anticipate doing so this year, but we will need your help.

We will provide copies of the weigh-in sheets as soon as we can get them copied at the head table and they will be available in the hospitality room on stage (behind the curtain) all day.

Soft goods by January 4th, 2008

You may mail your soft goods down to Randy Starr at: 3703 Meadow Creek Ct, Arlington, TX 76013 anytime before the event or bring them with you. We will provide a table and someone to sell them at no charge (Usually one free t-shirt helps promote enthusiasm!).

Please provide an inventory sheet and a price list. At the end of competition on Saturday night we ask that you pick up the money and any remaining goods. If you would like, we can ship them back for you, but please make prior arrangements. Randy can be reached at (randeb@flash.net) or (817) 483-1353.
