I personally called each motel, with the same response from all that they were booked for that weekend due to Special Olympics basketball tournament that weekend.
Yes, I understand that Wakeeney & Russell are 30 miles from there, as a last resort we will book rooms there.
I don't think it matters where I am from. Yes, more kids attend sub-districts, however, the host is usually closer to home.
Hays does host great tournmaments, that is not the issue. I would just like clubs to take into consideration lodging & facilities when offering to host district tournaments. I was told that their club was specifically asked if Special Olympics was going on that weekend and they said no. This is the rumor that I wanted clarified.
