Quote from Viper on March 1, 2023, 6:37 pmQuote from Reaper on March 1, 2023, 12:18 amWhy not get rid of the East / West duals and make it the State duals......Leave it in Pierre so that you don't have to travel to one side of the state or the other.
Would that venue work? You'd be going from the traditional 6 or 8 teams to 16 when you consider a's and b's. Might be doable but that gym would be packed. It would also give Pierre home field every year, if that matters

Quote from Armbar on March 2, 2023, 10:50 amThe venue would work if it were two days. Just 2 Duals at at time. You could even have it where the A duals and B Duals were happening at the same time.
One Problem would be teams don't know if they'll make it and I'm guessing some are committed to go and wrestle at other tournaments that weekend.

Quote from chalk on March 2, 2023, 11:35 amKeep in mind the 4 duals some of the A schools at this event get them to or over 10 for the year (the qualification minimum). Taking them away wouldn't be a great idea in my opinion especially for the west river schools who primarily do tournaments on the weekends vs. duals (based on location) and it does not make a lot of financial sense to only bring your varsity over east for 1 dual or two, unless it's the night before a tournament your attending.
