I've been going to the state tournament in Kansas since I was a kid, except the last few years. I'm now coaching on the Missouri side. They have there tournament at one site which is the basketball arena in Columbia. They have only three classes here which makes it tougher to qualify for the tournament.There are two qualifying tournaments, which I don't like. They wrestle all of class one then go to the next class. So after each round most of the fans leave the arena and another group comes in.This keeps the stands packed.Which would be comparable to Manhattan or Lawrence. Since Kansas has four classes it would be tough to follow this format. Its probably not feasible but I like how they do it in Missouri. Very exciting atmosphere here and you don't have to miss any matches from other classifications.. Finals are just like Kansas except they don't take as much time on the parade and medal ceremony..
