Wrestlingfan937 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Always in September, with the vivid 19 re open plan in effect what do you guys think the chances are that the HSPO Will go down?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Well we are planning for it to be a go. If we are able to pull it off we will likely be one of the first bigger events to take place. We may stretch the event to two days. Sig40, JMILL, swortman and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I was just telling Cosgrove it needed to be two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherFan Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 One Day....A Sunday....otherwise almost no Football players due to JV games on Saturday.....unless of course day one started about 3-4 pm. Everyone talks about trying to grow participation in that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what percentage of participants are football players? I'm sure most football coaches probably encourage this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HCC plays JV games on Saturdays (Avon/Brownsburg/Fishers/Franklin Central/HSE/Noblesville/Westfield/Zionsville) I'm sure most football coaches probably encourage this event.

The number of football players will be close to zero if the opportunity is not there. If we want to grow this group you can’t think about past participation but be prepared for future. Start Saturday afternoon (3 pm ish) if a few more rounds are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Here is the information on this year's event We have a few ideas on the format, but at this time do not want to commit to one due to the COVID-19 situation. Here are the likely probabilities #1 Saturday wrestle everyone for a couple rounds from 5-9pm Sunday wrestle everyone fro 9am- Conclusion #2 Saturday wrestle the smaller weight classes 5-9pm until conclusion Sunday wrestle everyone else 9am-Conclusion *This could possibly include a Sunday morning weigh-in time. #3 Block off 3-4 hour sessions for groups of weight classes throughout the two days. brickfor6 and FCFIGHTER170 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katanakahn Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Any updates on potential for Registration to open? Just hopeful that the IHSAA Go Forward announcement might improve the likelihood of pulling this off! Not being pushy, just curious and anxious.

Y2CJ41 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 We are still holding off until we can be more confident we will be able to host the event. Right now venue is one of the biggest obstacles as hosting an event of this size will be difficult at a school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 We have found a venue and are looking to finalize everything early next week. We are going to wait to make sure we get department of health approval before moving forward with registration. Just a note we will likely have 3 sessions of wrestling, Saturday evening, Sunday morning, and Sunday afternoon. That way we can limit the number of athletes and coaches/parents as much as humanly possible during the event. Sig40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katanakahn Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm the parent of a wrestler than plans to be there. As much as I LOVE to watch my sons wrestle, I would be more than willing to stay out if that helps the kids wrestle. And that goes for the entire IHSAA season as well. If that's what it takes to pull this off, make it so. We like to say (think) it's about the kids. Time to live up to that if needed I so want to be there, I've maybe missed two matches ever, but this is about him, not me.

I know we are submitting our plans soon and we will likely restrict attendance. With an individual event it is a little tricky, so we hope that if you don't need to be there you stay home and watch the stream. Plus you can drink a cold beverage at home without getting in trouble. JMILL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephfloyd Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Will we still be able to coach with just a regular admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our plan that we submitted to the board of health is basically this. Three sessions with approximately 250 athletes in each session. We'll have a Saturday evening session(5-9pm), Sunday morning session(9am-1pm), and a Sunday afternoon session(1-5pm). Each session should be about 4 hours in length. Each athlete will be allowed to bring in two guests(parent, coach, etc) and they will obviously need to pay. We are doing away with the coaches passes just to make it easier on our staff for this year. Which means "anyone" can coach. Obviously it is highly likely that facial coverings will be required for everyone unless you are warming up or wrestling. I am anticipating a response very soon on our status.

doctorWrestling Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 God bless Indiana for allowing this to happen - especially in a high school. I am glad to see it was possible and am sure it wasn't easy. The Grappler Fall Classic was moved to South Carolina. It was created to give Michigan kids a chance to see the top kids from out of state without traveling but Fort Wayne is a lot closer. With football in MI being moved to the spring, I expect to see a large number of MI kids opting to travel to Fort Wayne instead of SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing we may not have even local tournaments in schools for a while from what I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sig40 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Approximately 150 spots left, don't sleep on possibly the toughest IHPO ever. Some huge brackets with 109lbs at 76 and 123lbs with 66. Also noticed that Indiana will have a few new faces to start the school year. Welcome to 1 class Indiana Sergio Lemley, Javen Estrada, and Robert Major. Anyone want to throw out some early predictions based off the registration right now? Thor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
