The overnight stays were a big issue with KSHSAA. They went to this format due to the 112 wrestler limit they cornered themselves with and then they could host a one day event because this would not cause an overnight stay for teams and parents and thus this would mitigate the spread of Covid. That is why there were not two day events. KSHSAA stated that this is where the spread of Covid would happen
And I agree that KSHSAA should have gotten the KWCA and any and all wrestling guru's involved in the decision making. Lets face it, whether or not it is a one day event or three day, "ALL" Teams and their fans are there the first day, so the possible Covid-Cat is out of the bag per say. And do all the fans and teams stay in the same rooms when they stay the night? One big group sleep-over?
I know of some teams that have motel reservations for next weeks sub-states due to the travel distance, regardless of start time. So there goes the no overnight stay.
But -4 times the events means 4 times the gate fee collected, even if the numbers are limited.!!!
