I haven't been visiting Chalkbucket much lately. I apologize for coming here just to vent, but I'm really mad about this situation and want to share with people who will understand, or who will tell me I'm overreacting.
So my son moved to a new gym just before this season started. He's competed with the new gym all season with no problems adding him to their roster on meets. The last meet on the schedule before states is a big meet hosted by his former gym. He's had a season that is shorter than he's used to (old gym usually did 8 meets before states whereas new gym only does 5) and it's not exactly going to be a cakewalk for him to qualify for regionals this year. So yesterday we were told that the session for his level is full and he will not be allowed to compete at ex-gym's meet this weekend.
I'm just livid. In the session in question, there are rotations with 12 boys in them and the rotation that my son's team is in only has 11. Yet they can't have a 12th in that rotation? Really? I can't help feeling that ex-gym owner, who is the meet director and exercises complete control over this meet is being a jerk.
In addition to needing the practice before states, this is one of my son's favorite meets. He was talking about getting one of the custom sweatshirts that are a unique feature of the meet.
So I'm interested whether people agree, or think I'm overreacting.
