A duel is to the death.

@Skippy Sorry that I just saw your question today.

Deul meet is between two teams.
Invetational is a tournament of several schools.

I had the greatest wrestling mom in the world…I would be happy to help you in your journey:]

@valdasta – Thanx – As we move past the first invitational (this past saturday) Dropped him off at the wrestling room at 6:30 am ,off to location 40 minutes to other side of town- pick up same place 8:55pm – I went to the location, watched a few matches, bought some food – patted some backs, and went back home. These are long days…...

That makes a long day and even with the “lunch” I packed for him, it wasn’t enough and cash needs to go along for the concession stand.

This week, only a duel on Saturday.

Scoring is my next learning curve – take down/pin etc…the ref’s hands go up and fingers out, but there were several mats going at the same time and only 1 clock.

BTW did you ever let you mom know that fact?

Yes, made a post on Fb about my mom being the best (in light of all her sacrifices she made for me to have a happy childhood). I think it made her day.

I believe your son has picked an excellent sport. He will learn much about self-discipline, sportsmanship, mental and physical toughness, etc…
