I am just trying to get discussion on this to see what options we have. With every decision (4 divisions or more qualifiers) there are good and bad but with everyone pushing 4 divisions no one is telling the bad and only proposing the good. And most are only talking about the state meet. Lets talk about how we handle districts and regionals and getting officials and sites for all of this. My thoughts are this:
1) have districts be a double district with 2 divisions at each site. Run the div 1 100m, then run the div 2 100m. Since we are most likely going to have less schools at each district now the prelims for distance races most likely will not happen.
2) since we are combining the district officials will not be a problem.
3) regionals could do the same but the second day may have to start earlier.
4) state meet could move to 3 days to help if there is a weather delay. Most schools are out by state meet so there is no conflict with classes.
5) Do we really need as many officials as we have for regionals and state?
