From the state flyer (on the left side labeled "state chmp":
PRESS PASSES: The Kansas Expocentre Security will be handling admission to the tournament for press people and will allow only those with the proper credentials from their newspapers into the tournament. You will receive your floor press pass once you present them with your press card. Press passes will be given to individuals who are employed by their local paper to cover the 2010 State Tournament and will be admitted free to the tournament and on the arena floor, provided they have their official press pass from their local newspapers. Letters requesting individuals to take pictures will not work! Individuals with press passes will need to enter from the south-end (handicap entrance) / pass gate to gain admission
