Now moved to Tuesday, October 15 due to PSAT Testing on Wednesay.

If bad weather were to arise on Saturday, it’s likely there would be no regional period. That would be very unfortunate.

hoops4flyf40,
The original date was 10/12 which gives the atheletes a two week break between WDA and State. Lybeal brought up that East B does regions a week before State, I wasn't aware of that.
But to your point, having it this Tuesday is certainly better than not having it at all. I hopefully all athletes are ready and roads will be safe for travel. I am looking forward to watching it.

Thursday and Friday are reserved for Teachers Conventions. It is illegal to have activities on those days. Wednesday would be the latest weekday; Saturday being the last possible day, period. That being said, I do agree, “why not move class B East”... AND West to the same locations as EDC and WDA respectively, and run those races after Class A has finished their races.

A disadvantage? As in they have performed poorly at State while scheduling meets this way? I have no clue how long it's been this way but:
At State over the last three years, the combined boys and girls of the Class B East have won 57% of the team awards and 63% of the individual awards. Are you implying that those stats would have been even more in their favor had they had a longer break? I highly doubt it. Those coaches tend to prefer that schedule and ours tend to go the other way. Neither is obviously right or wrong.
**Noted, it took me about as long to figure out how to copy post a reply as it did to generate these numbers.

Because those courses are going to be torn up pretty good from just the Class A races (at least EDC will be since the grounds are pretty wet)...doesn’t seem fair to the Class B athletes to run in mud and slop. I’m sure the B schools are weighing their options for reliable courses if their original one is not usable

There is no "Teacher's Convention" anymore. The Legislature ended it about 4 years ago. Schools still take those days off because that is the dates of the ND Administrators Conference in Bismarck. It is not illegal to have activities on those days, they just don't because the Administrators (who are also AD's in small towns) are in Bismarck.

Huh?
Lemme play!
Some people, including NFL "experts" seem to think that the New England Patriots have been doing things right over the past 20 years as far as coaching, play selection, and player personnel and winning.
But those people are wrong. Its the Vikings, Cardinals and Lions that are doing things the right way and are simply better than the Patriots. I know it doesn't show it in the results, and I know some of you don't see it, but, clearly, the Patriots are a sub-par franchise when compared to the Vikes, Cards and Lions.
In my eyes, its common sense.
How did I do?
