Raccoon encounter ends tourney for team

Hello!

Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.

Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....

Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.

Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.

Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.

Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.

SamanthaJane13	Raccoon encounter ends tourney for team ND team exposed to raccoon pulled from tournament Updated: Monday, 07 Feb 2011, 8:53 AM EST Published : Monday, 07 Feb 2011, 8:53 AM EST GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A raccoon has ended a North Dakota team's bid for a fourth consecutive regional championship in high school wrestling. The Carrington High School team was pulled from Saturday's tournament when officials discovered the athletes had been exposed to a live raccoon. Grafton Police Sgt. Anthony Dumas says the team picked up what members thought was a dead raccoon on the way to the tournament in Grafton and stowed in the storage area of their bus. Dumas says when the compartment was opened later, the raccoon "just trotted away." The animal didn't scratch or bite anyone, but it's not known whether it had rabies. The Grand Forks Herald reports school officials brought the team home as a precaution. Health officials say there's no risk to athletes who competed against Carrington. ___ Information from: Grand Forks Herald, http://www.grandforksherald.com http://www.wivb.com/dpps/news/offbea...11-jgr_3713611
