We need to keep Kansas tournaments USAW sanctioned and working for Kansas kids, not someone's pocketbook. As to a having a set of tournaments that are somehow set above all others and linked in some way. Be very careful, you or your club would not likely like a ranking system which for whatever reason made your tournament less attractive than another just because of it's date or location. Let each tournament regardless of where or when sink or swim based on it's own merits.
