Just think of the possibilities of people that purchased tickets through craigslist where the original purchaser could request a refund and not be holding the tickets any longer. This could be a mess for some folks out there.
 
Sometime in the future someone will appear on Antiques Roadshow with paper tickets to the 2020 and 2021 Trials and say "my uncle left these to me, it looks like he got them signed by (fill in the blank) at the 2021 trials".

Considerations currently being discussed to move the June 1 refund date out. The reason is that the 2021 Trials date is nearly set (the contract is still a work-in-progress), but can't be released until it is signed. Not knowing the Trials date may impact people's decision.

That said, I do not know a single soul that is going to ask for a refund. Not saying none are, just that I don't know of anyone.

No one knows. I got an email today that said something like they are still trying to schedule in 2021, and the window to request a refund has been extended. Anybody that ordered tickets should've received it.
 
Any update on the new date/location for trials??

Location is unchanged and a date has been picked but is not firm. Contracts/details being worked on through USA Wrestling and all the local entities, not unlike prior to the process for the 2020 Trials that were cancelled.

No information about a date that it will be announced.

We would all like this, but we also know Roar would not do this, or would he..... Just kidding! (kind of also!)

AirBNB for me and my crew!
 
There’s room on my front porch swing for any of you former 125lb types.
 
From 288 to 125 is going to be a hard cut with any descent plan but I'm game.

The front porch comment reminded me of vacationing with my in laws 25 years ago. Mother in law for a couple years rented a big house at Virginia Beach or the Outer Banks. The house at Virginia Beach had a older porch swing. I soon found it was not certified for 265 pounds and before you say Myles Martin, I was laying on my back looking up.

Nerf, If the cut doesn't work, can I claim the lower bunk of the swing?

Early April still the plan ... though decision about Covid and possible delays yet to be made. Unlikely to move much, as the Olympics start 7/23/21.
