SFGD,

Could you explain the rookie state (novice ??) vs regular state (open??) and 2 different locations. I am not trying to cherry pick data - I am trying to find some answers to questions I have about your proposal. Would a Novice State Tournament make sense in Kansas - I guess that depends on the numbers, age divisions, locations, etc. Well that is not on the agenda - so I will stay on topic.
