The State Board voted 8-0 today (3-13-11) to allow Class B to hold Super Sectional Tournaments. In conjunction with this the Class B State Tournament will be held over the first two weekends of the State Tournament. The Class C Tournament will be held over all three weekends as in the past.
The Class B set-up will be the same as it has been in the past to determine their final sixteen teams. Each of the eight sections will play their own tournament to get down to two teams that will move on. Then the managers of the 16 remaining teams will rank each team 1-16 and there will be four Super Sectional Tournaments. These Super Sectionals will all have an identical format (a four team double elimination tournament) and will be played the weekend of August 12, 13 and 14. The top two teams from each Super Sectional advance to the State Tournament in Brownton and Glencoe (Hutchinson is the third site).
The State Tournament will consist of an eight team double elimination tournament played over two weekends. The B Tounament dates are August 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28. The Championship game is scheduled for Sunday August 28, 2011.
More details to come.
