Ralph Northam parents want to watch their kids wrestle at Virginia States- do you think you can let the VHSL know that would be ok? They keep blaming this on you, so - address the facts.

Both venues for the state tournament hold several thousand seats for spectators.
Virginia Beach specifically has seats for 5,000 spectators. That is not even the total occupancy, just spectator seating.
VHSL has indicated that you are bound by Executive Order 72.
Executive Order 72 states that for sports venues "The total number of Spectators cannot exceed the lesser of 30 percent of the lowest occupancy load on the certificate of occupancy, if applicable, or 250 persons."

30% of 5,000 is 1,500.
If every weight class has a full bracket, that will mean you will have a total number of 112 wrestlers.
If each wrestler is allowed two parents each, that will total 224 spectators which obviously does not come close to that 1,500 person limit.

In a facility that holds 5,000 people, you could easily and safely social distance and be well within all safety guidelines.

There is a national level wrestling tournament happening today in Richmond at a much smaller venue, with far more wrestlers in attendance that also falls under Executive Order 72 and they have made it possible to allow spectators while following all rules of the Executive Order and CDC guidelines.

WHY can't VHSL do the same for our kids?
