The local YMCA would be too! Or a church gym . They’ll move it at some point.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 5:29 pmBased upon attendance in Pensacola, Coastal's gym would be more than large enough

Re: Pensacola
This will not be popular with the purist...but I would be ok with The east hosting a tournament Friday, Saturday, Sunday in Myrtle, Charleston, Charlotte and the west hosting a tournament for their schools and having the two champions play in the championship game each year on Monday in Atlanta or alternating East/West sites. That Monday would be tough on travel to get there.....I would assume a bus ride for one of the teams. As long as it was alternated yearly, it would be fair.

That would require divisions, no?spacemonkey wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:28 pmThis will not be popular with the purist...but I would be ok with The east hosting a tournament Friday, Saturday, Sunday in Myrtle, Charleston, Charlotte and the west hosting a tournament for their schools and having the two champions play in the championship game each year on Monday in Atlanta or alternating East/West sites.

Re: Pensacola
I thought we already somewhat play divisions. Don't we play all east teams home/away each year and the west teams just once alternating. I really don't know but I would think the east west split would be pretty close to fair and we could have a sunbelt east title bannerAppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:30 pmThat would require divisions, no?spacemonkey wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:28 pmThis will not be popular with the purist...but I would be ok with The east hosting a tournament Friday, Saturday, Sunday in Myrtle, Charleston, Charlotte and the west hosting a tournament for their schools and having the two champions play in the championship game each year on Monday in Atlanta or alternating East/West sites.

Re: Pensacola
It would be somewhat a formality to split them into definitive divisions. I don’t hate the idea. It doesn’t seem practical to me.spacemonkey wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:33 pmI thought we already somewhat play divisions.

Re: Pensacola
We could do regional champions, Friday/Saturday/Sunday and then move the Championship game from Monday to Tuesday to give the teams a chance to get there. ESPN would probably accommodate a move from Monday to Tuesday. 6 of the 7 teams would save on travel that could be used to provide travel for the championship game. Looking at the map...Raleigh would probably be the cheapest location for all east teams. Atlanta would be the longest drive but would probably be a very cheap flight. RDU houses many low cost airline options. Marshall is always going to be an outlier. Georgia St. / Marshall/ Georgia Southern 6 hour rides. The rest less than 3 hours.

Re: Pensacola
Selfishly , I have been attending our tournaments for decades , more than two , less than seven , a longtime and want a better experience.One that will draw fans and be as much fun as possible.The excitement of a single bid conference tournament when done right is hard to beat.
