1-This would be interesting, but it wouldn't hurt to give more teams a chance, especially in tough districts. I think it would actually hurt us; if our district stays the same as it is now, managing it will not be too terribly difficult.http://www.mshsaa.org/advisory/index.asp?Committee_News_ID=284 wrote:1. Went on record that interest exists in increasing the number of teams that qualify for the state finals from each district.
2. Went on record to eliminate the one-hour wait for classes 3 and 4 between the semifinal and final matches.
3. Went on record to stress in the district managers packet that the district winning team that has qualified for the state tournament should attend. Teams that have a scheduling conflict for the state tournament should not compete in the district tournament.
4. Went on record that the moderators may spell unfamiliar or hard-to-pronounce words.
5. Went on record that instructions for all-district and all-state team selection by the MACA be placed in the school packets, district managers packets, coaches packets at the finals, and the coaches meeting announcements at the finals.
All items approved but will not be implemented due to lack of quorum at meeting
2-The extra wait is so annoying! We could use it to our advantage, but most of us never do. I would rather just get it over with.
3-I forgot, who in Class 1 didn't show up? I think that's a good idea. Does anybody remember the circumstances leading to #3 (which Class 1 team didn't show up and why not?)
4-They weren't able to before? Or were they not aware of it? This is a fundamental of Scholar Bowl...
5-It wouldn't hurt anything, although it seems pretty self-explanatory.
Lack of quorum is kind of pathetic... how many people of the 8 needed to be there?
