It is my understanding in visiting with Rick Bowden that the 456A State Tournament will most likely be back in Wichita next year. However, the Kansas Coliseum is undergoing renovations the following year, which may cause the tournament to have to move to an alternate location, or be split into two seperate events.

Personally, I would like to see us continue to look into a format that allows for more mats down, at least a fourth, for each site to speed up the tournament and give us better hours. This would improve the event for kids, fans, coaches...all involved, in my opinion.

I wonder what the general consensus from Hays is on using the fourth mat....
