rookie78 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Any word on whether or not things will be back to normal for Friday night, such as having 1 session, rather than 2? And buying tickets for Saturday? Will they still be online Friday, supposedly 10 pm, and #ticketgate breaks loose again and people can't buy tickets for hours? Will the elevator get crammed full at the Hyatt Place again? IU89, jaycer02, Misty Kendrex and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUSKEEWRESTLER Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 There will Definitely be two sessions on Friday. I believe that this is going to be the new standard. AJ, lanntp01, nkraus and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I’m still hoping the IHSAA puts some focus on the 2024 finals location really soon. With over a year out they can likely work with a good venue to reach an agreement that can still give the qualifiers a solid experience.

CoachM Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Didn't Faulkins say that we will do a parade with everyone this year, not just the lower weights? I thought he mentioned at the clinic that they won't clear the arena just take a break and then have round 2 after an intermission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbulldog152 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I believe Girls golf takes place on a Thursday and Friday. Our girls golf team made it and Im pretty sure they left for state Thursday morning and started competing while school was still in session.

Clan Campbell Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 The real questions is how does someone so disconnected and lost from our sport like faulkins (note lower case cause he doesn't deserve capital letter) become so powerful in decision making and everyone falls in line. too bad we can't elect our wrestling state representative, cause the guy we have sucks; really hope he reads this and decides to retire.......

Will the elevator get crammed full at the Hyatt Place again? Let’s get this going again.. looks like tickets go on sale the Tuesday and Wednesday before State at 10am both days. All Session tickets for Friday and Saturday look to be on the table. What is the max amount of tickets one can purchase? If you have a qualifier, do they get first dibs on tickets? If they lose Friday night, do they need a ticket for Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH-Coach Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I wonder how they will handle coaches this year. Will they go back to two coaches and a score keeper, if you only qualify one? Will it be like the past few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriotpride Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Commissioner Faulkens stated on the podcast that everyone will participate in the parade of champions, they have shortened the break between sessions, and a change to the layout of the mats to bring the fans in closer. Basically state will have a different look this year. And improved on things from past years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
