Pick the State Champions Contest

by Greg DeMarco

Conducting a contest is one way to generate more interest in the upcoming State Tournament. You could involve the entire student body or just your wrestlers. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the Word document here.
2. Make the following changes:
   1. WWW - indicate the winner's prize. It could be a t-shirt, an invitation for two to the wrestling banquet or something goofy like a $3 bill.
   2. XXX - state the person who will collect the forms. You may want to keep the entries confidential. Wrestlers get very sensitive if people don't pick them.
   3. YYY - determine the deadline for when the forms must be submitted by.
3. Print out one copy of the two-page document.
4. Take them to a copy machine and print out a bunch of two-sided sheets.
5. Cut the sheets in half and you're ready to go!
