Exactly headup the state tournament is next weekend. I was a little puzzled by the weigh in time my self, but it worked just fine. I traveled 3 hours to get Pratt and it was nice not to stand in line. Not everybody trying to get in the eating place at the same time and checking into motels. (not alot of options in Pratt). It was the same for all d4. We have been traveling to Topeka for years leaving first thing to get there for a 3:00 weigh in, not much complaining we just do it.
