Pratt has the facilities and past tournaments are well run. Only negative is Pratt location being almost as brutal for travel times for those in the NW as Goodland was for those in the SE of D-4. Pratt's separate gym not very convenient for a parent or coach pulling double duties however gym 3 is not really needed either. There is enough capacity with gym 1 and 2.
It is my understanding that Hays outgrew its high school facilities seating capacity for hosting and why their tournament is held at Gross. Someone like Geyer would be better qualified to answer that question.
Russell isn't the worst of geographical locations IF there is indeed seating capacity. You need the mat space of course but also physical capacity to put butts in seats....with the additional questions of if the Russell club would WANT to host, volunteers, etc. Like Hays question, only someone from Russell club or history with therein is qualified to answer that question. D-4 geographical expanse is what it is...Cloud and Ottawa getting the shaft IMO. Leave 'em in 3.
BTW, our club didn't receive a survey either. Is this the senate or the house style of survey? Should one get more clout by number of emails a club has or one survey per club? Hutch might have a lot of email addresses...with Cloud and Ottawa needing/wanting a lot more email addresses tied to their clubs now.

Like I wrote before, a survey can be misleading.
