Guess i'll weigh in on this too: 1) while I would personally LOVE to see the State Tournament back down to 2 days, I cannot see this happening. For one reason the KHSAA makes more money with it being a 3-day tournamnet. The other reason being I know of a few wrestlers (better wrestlers mind you who are consistantly ranked top 5) who want it to stay a 3 day event. I think we could keep it a 3 day event, just do what the NCAA does: SPREAD OUT THE SESSIONS! Thursday would be one big session, make friday 2 sessions (with a break between sessions. Just clear the arena and give the ref's a break!!), and Saturday 2 sessions. 2) Like grappler of old said, we can NEVER go to a one day tournament because of the 5 match rule. 3) most mats we will get in the arena is probably 6. KHSAA has to pay for the official's hotel and gas mileage, PLUS their pay for officiating. That adds up if you sit down and caculate that one of the better officials we have at State comes from West Virgina to officiate the tournament. Remember: you will have 2x as many officials as you have mats. So if we put 6 mats down, we will have 12 officials. I just can't see the KHSAA being able to afford more officials unless you teh fans are willing ot pay more to get in. sorry abotu your luck.

I mean is it possible for them to complete in one day since it seems like it might accomodate 3x as many mats. The convention lists at 10,000 sq. ft. horse park lists at 135' x 300' which would be about 40,000 sq. ft. Sorry if I misworded it, my sons still in middle school so I've only been to the convention center once for a youth tourney. Next year he will be in high school so I'm just soaking up info as time goes on, thanks for staightening that out because I think this sight is a great informational resource.

The high school state tourney could not be completed in one day. The "5" match rule will not allow it. However a 2 day tourney is much more feasable and probably more likely.
