Coach McCormick Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The IHSWCA Classed Team State Duals planning committee is already hard at work putting pieces in place for our third annual event next season. It has already been released that we will be inviting 12 teams per class to next year's event. One of the next items to tackle is selecting a date for the competition. The corresponding calendar date is Jan. 3, 2015. During my brief research thus far, it appears that there will be some regularly scheduled holiday tournaments on this day. I know of two holiday tournaments that were supposed to be on Jan. 3 but are opting to move the event to Dec. 30/31, so they occurr before New Year's Day. The other option for our state duals event would be to go on Dec. 27. Certainly, at first glance this is 2 days after Christmas, but we would likely not interfere with other holiday tournaments. There will only be 36 teams impacted by this, BUT these will be 36 of the better teams around the state that holiday tournaments want in their annual event. I am posting this topic for primarily two reasons: 1. I would like to hear legitimate Pros and Cons from coaches regarding these date options. Keep in mind that there will be a number of teams that must spend the night on Friday night in the Indianapolis area. 2. I would also be interested to hear from those schools who host holiday tournaments to see what their date(s) look like for next season. Who is going on Jan. 3? Anyone wrestling on Dec. 27? Thank you for your input as we look to establish this date. Coach McCormick tmccormick@yorktown.k12.in.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Gard Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 John McKee Invitational will be held on December 23rd (Tuesday) and the Al Smith is on December 30th and 31st. We moved the McKee so we didn't have to wrestle two big tourney's in one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Connersville 32-Team is at or around 12/27-12/29 timeframe every year. You'll need to work that conflict out for sure. I believe North Montgomery Duals are also at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Team State Dual Tournament is a great tournament for the sport of wrestling. Why can't we move it after the state tournament so all the teams can participate? Don't we want to crown the champion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
