USA Wrestling is a good organization, but it’s too hard to find information about them. The members of the organization generally have no idea how decisions are made, how money is spent, or how they can become involved.

Their website doesn’t help much; it’s focused on news and events, but tells little about the organization itself. This is, I’m sure, because people like this sort of thing… you drive traffic by emulating MTV, not CSPAN. Still, this leaves a serious deficit.

Thus, I’ve started what I’m calling The USA Wrestling Documentation Project. I’d like to see it become a clear, easy-to-use guide to USA Wrestling and the state governing bodies affiliated with it. By-laws, budgets, committees, officers, staff, and various other things of interest to the membership should eventually be there.

I’ve used the same software that runs Wikipedia, though I’ve restricted editing privileges to those with accounts; possibly this will change later, as I become more familiar with administering the project. If anyone would like an account, create an account at The Open Mat Forum and send a message to me there (my username is Ray Brinzer).

Happy Independence Day (if you’re an American). God Bless America, and USA Wrestling too.
