Ghez. Only two years huh? Thanks for the info.
Isn't kids state almost like a 'grand state'? If they can do it for the 'little dudes' - why can't they do it for the 'big dudes'? I understand that the big dudes need more mat space. Just run the tourney a day longer if a big enough venue cannot be found in the state.
Or, think outside the box. Maybe a neighboring state would let us borrow/rent their venue if none of ours is big enough . . .
It worked for 2 years in the 70's. Why can't it work now?
