So a host school provides support to the tournament chair? On the latter question, I'll volunteer that the host school of a regional, if a tournament participant, never gets sent to the other regional. If traveling to tournaments in nice vacation spots (Maine, Michigan, Colorado, Florida!) is a carrot to a player recruit, then maybe being a host school is a carrot of sorts to the sports information department of the "host" school? (Obviously I don't have a clue) cheers, wayne
