The issue of traveling has been discussed many times before on this forum, so I should know the rule, but I don't. I do know that Kansas has a rule about how far out of state a team can travel to compete, and that the distance is not very far. I am sure many Kansas teams would love to compete at these tourneys and be "willing to get beat up every once in a while" but they can't...
at least not far from home.

Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn- and most do.
