Does anyone else think that this is ridiculous? Typically during a tournament, fans would like to see ALL the games and not have to try to watch two games at the same time. I complained about this last year and the year before, but they (EDC officials) just can't get it right. The WDA does it the right way with the boys and girls semi-finals and loser out games running at different times. It's a good thing I'm boycotting the Alerus center, the absolute worst venue for a high school basketball tournament.

This kinda sounds the same, but they would have to split up the tourneys between the Aud at Minot and the Dome. But here is another question? Why do the boys and girls state tourneys have to be played in the same city? T.V. reasons?
This solution makes too much sense for the ND High School Inactivities Board. To quote the famous philosopher Jimmy Buffett..."...it was so simple it plumb evaded me"MHSfan wrote:I guess one solution could be like the class B tourney scedualing with the girls starting their qualifyiers a week earlier. That could fix it. Having a state tournament in a facility like the Aud or the Dome in Minot would definately would make the games more fan friendly and exciting, rather than playing in a huge cave like the Alerus or the Fargo Dome.
Just my :2cents:.

And what's wrong with having 5 weekends in a row tied up with tournaments? heck, EVERY weekend should be tied up with a tournament. Here's what they should do...stick the Class B girls with the Class B boys, then watch people holler!

I would guess the big sticking point about having 2 separate tourneys again would be that there is already 5 weekends in a row tied up with tournaments. Wrestling, hockey, B girls, A boys and girls, and the grand finale, B boys.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with having 5 weekends in a row tied up. By the way that is the case already. Seperate A tourneys would make it 6.paperboy wrote:And what's wrong with having 5 weekends in a row tied up with tournaments? heck, EVERY weekend should be tied up with a tournament.

I don't think it's fair that the Class A boys and girls have to share a weekend. And then, TV doesn't even cover the first round games in the A tournament, and those first round games are where you get to know the players and it stimulates interest for the next day's games. Can't you just wait for the announcer to say..."Here's Justin Beholovek, who scored 43 last night with 12 boards and 9 assists and we're sorry that you missed it."
