High School-open to all ages
I support this idea of my age groups because, people say 6&U are too young at State move it back a year and have at it. You change the age groups a little bit by a year and then eliminate the combine of freshman and eighth graders and then you have all the high school together. It would only make sense, or maybe I'm just crazy...
I don't think you are crazy. I suggested this same change in Kids age groups several years ago. I agree with you and I agree it would make it a little better for those who advocated 6&U at State. It would also eliminate the combining of 8th graders vs. 9th graders at State.
I like the idea of a separate high school tournament with either two divisions (freshmen/JV and open) or three divisions (freshmen only, JV and open). If you held the high school tournament within a couple of weeks of this week's high school tournament, you would have a type of Grand State high school event and the high schoolers could then start freestyle immmediately. I doubt it would ever happen in Kansas but I like your idea.
