The distance thing I dont get. If every school should get a chance to host districts, then on some years are you not going to travel further than others?

Thought about it no, but could it be done sure I guess, everyone willing to pay the increase in entry fee to cover those cost?

Goo, the biggest complaint we here is that teams loss money on the district tournament. (yet no one has ever been able to show any financial proof that actually happens.) This year is the first year anybody has complained about travel for Districts. Not saying a realignment of teams isnt warranted, but lets remember that realigning teams based upon this seasons roster sizes can be foolish to an extent, kids here today, gone tomorrow. Have to look at the whole picture.

Lets remember why KSWA went to the district format in the first place. 1. 32 man brackets or bigger under the old regional format (each team got 2 wrestlers per weight class), as # of teams continued to grow, it became hard to have it as a one day event. 2. Gyms spaces not big enough to hold a 1 day - 32 man bracket tournament. (name the places that it could be hosted in your region, then work the event around HS Basketball schedule and HS Wrestling Schedule) 3. Due to the 2 wrestlers per weight class format, it was noted that several wrestlers were dropping inappropriate amount of weight to make lower weight classes so they could wrestle due to the kids on their specific roster. 4. Why should kids that practice all year with a team, not be given the chance to participate in the post season.

Everyone all worked up and worried about Johnson Central. I love it.

All district results are on track wrestling.

We have had remote sites for weigh ins for years, and all that was heard was that they were not done within the rules and the weights were not accurate. Not sure why all the flack for going to a weigh in process more similar to what national tournaments do.

Interesting take considering the western KY coaches were the one pushing this issue to have a weight in right before youth state tournament.

Considering not every team has entered their roster yet, this is a little premature.

True, but also how many officials actually weigh in the female wrestlers?
