The TSSAA Board of Control and Legislative Council both conducted meetings at Siegel High School in Murfreesboro on Tuesday March 16.
The most notable item of interest on the Board agenda was the site selection for the BlueCross Bowl football championships. Both Cookeville and Chattanooga submitted bids to host the three-day event. The Board voted to select Chattanooga as the host for 2021 and 2022. The games will be played at Finley Stadium.
Financial reports for all sport championships and bowling were approved by the Board.
The Board also voted to change the postseason wrestling format beginning in 2022. The individual state tournament will now be 16-person brackets for each classification (Division I Class A, Division I Class AA, and Girls). Dual meet championship brackets will have eight teams in Class A and Class AA. Girls dual meet championship brackets will have four teams. An additional sectional round has been added to the postseason for the individual tournaments and dual meet tournaments. Division II will be determined at a later date.
