KFDM COOP Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 Today the State 7 on 7 Board met to discuss setting the 2010 SQT schedule and review any potential rule changes which can enhance the summer game.The biggest news coming from the meeting was the expansion of the small school tournament which for the past three seasons had been just 32 teams. This year however the tournament will expand to 64 teams. There will be an additional 16 SQTs across the state in the small school division as well equaling the total for the big schools.The early word is the North Region SQTs in the small school division will feature 16 team tournaments with the traditional format of the four pool winners advancing to the qualifying round. In the South Region the tournaments will be eight teams with the top teams in each pool advancing to the quaifying round.There will be at least two new locations for tournaments in the North Region of Divison II (big schools). Belton and Fort Bliss in El Paso will host SQTs, as Greater El Paso will now have two SQTs. The early rumor was that Lubbock would host a SQT but that won't happen this year but look for a SQT to come to Lubbock in 2011. A third new SQT location in DFW could be announced when the full schedule is released.The main rule change for SQT play this year will be the addition of a "tackle box" on the offensive side of the ball. Teams will now not be allowed to line receivers up within 3 yards of the center on either side, this rule should allow for more football simulated formations and reduce the number of "junk plays" as some coaches like to call them.For a full list of rules, regulations and tournament registration forms please visit http://www.state7on7.comThe official state 7 on 7 site has not been updated with 2010 information as of yet and we will update you once the site is updated.
