They always clear the gym for the semis on Friday night, I do know that for sure. I think they do not clear the gym on first round games but I could be wrong on that. I'm not sure of the times but we'll find out soon. We're looking forward to hosting the regional this year at Ryle.

 

 

The gym is not cleared out during the first two rounds.

 

They have always cleared the gym for the semi-finals.

thank you for clearing that up....

Traditionally the only time they clear the gym is for the Semis on Friday.

 

There is a little difference in the time of games for the Semis and Finals from 2000 and 2003. I don't know if the changes they made in 2003 worked out for the tournament better than in 2000. If so, I'm assuming that the times they had in 2003 are more likely the ones they'll go with this time as well, but this I do not know for sure.

Infact, I don't know anything for sure. I was just studying the trends of the past and haven't seen anything official as of yet.
