tbau,

As it has been stated many many times on this forum, KSHSAA will not do another "Grand State" like you propose, for time and money reasons.

Also as Shane said KSHSAA is committed to allowing 3A to host a state tournament as long as they want it.

I agree with Will on this one. I really wish they would combine all the classes into 1. We should have 4 "super regionals" which geographically split the state into four regions much like USAWKS does. I don't really care what the logistics of the split is. Each super regional will have 8 man brackets top 4 from each super qualifies for State.

Each Super Region would qualify 4 from two regionals held the week before Super Regional week. I know a lot of schools would not like that because that is the week that many host their league or city tournaments. To this I say they can either get rid of the league tournament OR they can shorten their regular season by one less tournament. I know when I wrestled we went to some pretty weak tournaments that I wouldn't have minded missing. Keep in mind with this plan the total season length remains the same. And in effect you get a little tougher schedule because you add one tournament (regional) that will have some decent competition. I don't really like the idea of 8 man brackets at super regional but its either that or host 4 regionals in each super region, and that may not be possible because some areas in western Kansas don't have 32 teams to compete in this 4 regular regions.

Anyway this is assuming that all classes want to compete for 1 state champion and would require FHSU to give up their tournament which they won't do. It is in effect much like the California system.
