I can offer a little history
on this. Previously the tournaments were
held in Blacksburg. Because of weather we had to
move the state
tournament to January. That
made it more difficult because you have
teams from all over Virginia going up into
the mountains during the unpredictable winter months.
It was scary being
responsible for cars of students when the roads were
still icy. James Madison is
a little bit of a better location as it is
not in as high an elevation
as Blacksburg,
but the teams from the east
must still cross Afton Mountain,
in the winter, to get there.
The other thing is many of
us have other activities that we do with
students that start up in
January ( TSA, OM, and in tidewater we have
Great Computer Challenge ).
