doctorWrestling Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Do you think it would have been ok if they had crossed the invisible line to the safe area and rented a space in Indiana to have the tournament instead? Indiana seems to be moving along fine with wrestling. Its crazy how it would kill everyone in some states for high school age kids to wrestle but others have no issue.

I haven't seen any of Illinois's rules on interstate competition for the pandemic ban, but if they are anything like what I saw from Michigan, it would be a big no-no. The article doesn't even state what level the event was serving, which is another issue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorWrestling Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 You are lucky to have a reasonable governor. I am rooting for Indiana to prove the rest of these states wrong so we can get back at it. It appears clear to me that it can be done if they follow reality instead of theoretical models or "science". nkraus, busstogate and AJ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Time Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The interesting technicality here is that this facility is technically a native american, tribally owned property by Ho-Chunk Nation. Will be interesting to see how that plays out. busstogate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we can get through the season, but the thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.

LWFW Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The tournament wansn't the worst of it. Having hundreds of people standing outide in the cold rain for hours on end just to get a chance to weigh in was. The disorganization and dysfunction was readily apparent. I will not attend or support anything by the EAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. There were tournaments all summer that we traveled to, some states have started high school, college has started, Flo is putting on events, Rokfin has events, Trackwrestling has events, Fite TV has events, I believe UWW is holding tournaments. I haven't heard of 1 issue. So reality is true also. Edited December 15, 2020 by doctorWrestling nkraus and manchwrestlingdad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding some spaces in Indiana depends on the county. Some counties are more open to allowing outside events beyond school related ones than others. But I’d say there are only certain places that have a good enough size facility to spread even limited spectators out in order to minimize some of the current health concerns.
