dscicle 6 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 NOPE!! Regions (and State next week) are get there or don't wrestle. I've heard a true story that back in the 90s, Ft. Campbell hosted Regions (back when there was districts then regions) and 2 days before the tournament, they were hit with an ice storm. The KHSAA said "you wrestle it. whoever gets there gets there." The story goes that several times throughout the day the power went off, but they waited forthe power to come back on and continued wrestling. Regions and State are get there, or don't wrestle.

myGSP 4 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 This it what Ranger said on another post.I've been in touch with all of the athletic directors and principals around the state and we are close to a compromise where we can cancel all of the regional tournaments, set up the state bracket based solely on rankings, simulate all of the matches up to the finals, have the national guard transport all state finalists to Frankfort, and wrestle the finals next Saturday night. :evil: To make sure the KHSAA still makes adequate profit for the event tickets will cost $250 and a bottle of water will be $13.

Bo_ranshaw 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 Don't worry if they get postponed they will reschedule for july... Oh wait there might be a heat wave going on the high schools would be forced to close the door for fear of those without air conditioning in thier cars and might pass out in there travels to the location...

FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 Last year during the ice storm pretty much all of southern kentucky was out of operation, idk about central and nothern. We were still able to have regionals though and we got a lovely extra pound allowance, but they voted that last part down this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately some of us are able to do it with a smile on our face while others are banging on their keyboards, cussing at the screen, and probably throwing things.

Mathound 4 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 It's completely possible that a school district could refuse to have the meet held if the conditions get bad... I'm not sure what the backup plan is if that happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 C'mon ranger you don't understand wrestling at all.We can't have kids going to regional tournaments when there is snow. Jr. may get cold or catch a cold. If the regional tournaments are cancelled then everyone should qualify for the state tournament. everyone gets 1st place and gets a nice big medal saying so. Then at the state tourney everyone gets another medal. They all look the same no matter what place they get. that way Jr. won't feel like he is inferior to other kids. man get with the times we can't have kids being told NO you didn't qualify for something. It will hurt there little psyche. JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS IS SARCASM. KIND OF LIKE A JOKE. GOO OUT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 Wow, I didn't even think about it. What would we do without the BENEFIT of global warming. We would have to cancel the entire season. I think I'll go out back and cut down a few trees to celebrate global warming week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myGSP 4 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 Would it be to late to transfer to another State (that doesn't get all this bad weather like KY does) like PA, NY, OH, IN, MI or even AK and still be able to wrestle in their state finals? :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dagger 7 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 Why don't we just move the state tournament to Ohio, Michigan, Wisconson, Illinois, or Iowa. I am sure they would be glad to host a Kentucky State Championship and i bet it wouldn't get cancelled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
