To follow up on what Coach Lane has already said, I would like to see a dual tournament, here in Salina on the first Saturday after New Years. A) Because it is where I'm located and I would love to see Salina host something like this and B) because Salina is centrally located.

It seems to me, and I'm judging mostly from this area, that the first Saturday in January is not that full of tournaments. I know there are some, but it seemed to me as the lightest weekend of the season. Plus, I'm pretty sure, the Bi-Center is open that weekend.

My plan would call for a two-day tournament. Wrestling Friday would culminate with crowning state champions in each of the four classes.

Then we would come back on Saturday and wrestle things off and crown a grand state champion. I know Oregon does something very similar to this. Their activites association refused to go along with a dual state so they said fine and did their own.

I think it would be an awesome event with an awesome atmosphere.

I would love to help organize and get it put together, but I'm just not sure where to start.
