#TheBrand Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just now, graham said: Looks like WC is a no go. They are looking for other venues. We shall see what happens from here. This is what happens when an organization does not have a backup contingency plan. It was foreseeable 2 weeks ago that this could be a possibility. Or even if we learned from last year at Carmel for MS state with their gym, there should ALWAYS be a contingency plan in place prior to the actual event occurring. Now pushing it back will affect numerous national duals, as well as the heart of spring break for many. Momma2Dickmans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This virus scare appears to be disrupting everyone’s lives in many ways. Public health appears to be the least of things that will be impacted although this is the reason for shutting everything down. patriotfan and runner-up 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) regarding the shutdowns and the present state of society I am like: They had chickenpox parties 30 years ago to get viruses over with. Now we will shut down our society and cause widespread economic hardship for all to be “comforted”.

MattM Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) I’ll say the same thing I said about having enough space at Day 1 of MS State. Have it at two large gyms located close to each other (like Perry and Southport for MS State). Sure it’s a slight in connivence for parents with multi-age siblings or small coaching staffs. But in a pinch it at least ensure their is enough room and everyone can lodge in a neutral location. Edited March 10, 2020 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now pushing it back will affect numerous national duals, as well as the heart of spring break for many. Asking a school or big facility to not host any events because they are a backup to the original host is virtually impossible. This is an event that needs 20+ mats, which there are maybe a handful in the state that have the capabilities of hosting. On top of that the facilities that can host have events already planned because they want to make money. The ISWA is in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. No one wants to cancel or move the event. patriotfan, backtothemat, sslaymon and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Stew Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Word is State is gonna be moved to TheCompoundIndy. Joe Rogan will be commentating. It will be on FX.

Mattyb Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Here another great MattyB idea... having it in one place would be impossible. With that said.. have the different age groups at different schools. Have Southport host Pee Wee and Bantam. Have Perry take Intermediate and Novice. Beech Grove gets School Boys and Cadets. Big boys go to Center Grove. All on south side of Indy. I know it is not ideal. Some families will have to split up. It will not be close to what we usually get.... but... it will get done. #TheBrand and Justin Ratliff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodJC82 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 First thing that needs to be done is find a location or locations that will accept the tournament. It sounds easy to say put it at Beech Grove, Perry & Center Grove, but they all have to be onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripleB Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 I know every Karen, Bob, and Steve is suddenly a google/social media medical expert but check out what's going on in Italy. 10k plus infected, over 400 people have died since Monday. I know this doesn't sit well w/ the conspiracy theorists and tough guys.......but let's try to not let that happen here.

I know this doesn't sit well w/ the conspiracy theorists and tough guys.......but let's try to not let that happen here. Considering 264M people more live in the USA, you are comparing apples to oranges. Also considering Italy’s population is 12% older than the USA, and the Covid-19 affects the elderly, again, can’t compare the two. The media is driving this circus. And it’s unfortunate. If we want to compare, we need to adjust for different cohorts and look at it retrospectively. And adjust for the variation. More importantly, let’s ban all Walmart’s. Considering the avg Walmart sees 4K customers a week and many many more over 10k, you are way more likely to encounter COVID-19 at Walmart than at a wrestling meet. But then again what do I know. Guess my Biotech background excludes me from knowledge. Considering everyone is an expert on the internet.

Avid conspiracy theorist here..not so much a tough guy depending upon whom you ask.and definitely not a biotech expert (Ball U, baby!! Education redefined!) .but if I'm gonna get it, please let it be Sunday so I can self quarantine for 2 weeks of MarchMadness/MarchMatness! I'm down for laying around sick, watching 12 hours of hoops and wrasslin' all day (albeit possibly in misery) and having people stay away from me (UncleJimmy not a people person, shocking..I know!). Hopefully I survive it, but if I don't I'll go out happy I reckon. To stay on topic, I think the Triple Crown FK/FS/GR idea is a good one. Take care out there people!
