Heard from a pretty reliable source that the tourney will also be available for people to watch in the BHS auditorium with the radio commentary piped in also. Should be nice.

yeah Bedrock I can't wait. I will spend the whole day there and sit in row 2. Maybe we can hang out. Will it really truly be that packed that they have to do that???

i know for a fact that a CC tv will be placed in the auditorium for the weekends festivities, im not sure if its for the whole weekend or just the finals, but i think its a really good idea

It can't hurt to have it if there are that many people there. Better to be safe than sorry.

Finals on Saturday are always jam packed with standing room only. Friday usually isn't too bad and saturday during the day is about the same too. Good work to the people who are getting the TV and stuff done, great idea.

actually its a bunch of kids in charge of it, bedford has its own production studio and everymorning these kids put together a live news show with all the days announcements, sports, weather, and lunch menu...its really quite fascinating, but thats why this is being done...

Actually it's not a bunch of kids in charge. There will be one student helping out but it's run by the A.D. and a couple other ADULTS.

If all goes well tonight setting it up, it will be available all weekend. It'll be shown on the big projector screen.

Also right now it's looking like it will have it's own cheaper admission. For those that don't want to pay full price for the gym. Every year we have elderly that complain the seating in the gym is too cramed, loud, and uncomfortable. (which they're right) So this year hopefully we'll get a good turnout. I think it's an excellent idea.

What a great way for more people to see the matches. Guess this should have been done awhile ago.

If everything goes as planned, which listening to Bisonian1 it sounds like it will, it may really increase the popularity of the tournament and may attract more people because of the obvious ability to house more people. If they charge a fee to get into the auditorium, the school will be able to make a little more green backs on the weekend too. Good luck with everything...
