FYI, I believe we are moving the location of the invitational to Centerville High School, which is just down the road from WSU.

I'm curious too.
Do you know the planned date for next year's invitational, or when that information will be released?
Also, are coaches required to write tests/bring materials?
I'm trying to persuade my coaches to go to WSU/Centerville, but they want a little more information before they make decisions.
Thank you!

Same here. I'm looking at Westlake, Solon, Mentor, and WSU/Centerville (how different is this invitational from Wright State? Sufficient to make a new page on the wiki?) as possibilities for next year (within Ohio, though there aren't that many outside of Ohio that are on my shortlist) so anything is helpful.

I would guess that Centerville's invitational would have less of a national draw than WSU did this past year. I know many nationally-competitive teams flew in for the WSU tournament as a "pre-nationals" exercise. They may choose different tournaments such as MIT, Cornell, or UChicago (which I hear is starting this year) for their out-of-state travel this coming season since WSU isn't hosting nationals in the foreseeable future.

If Chattahoochee is looking for a good tournament next year, I would recommend coming to Solon (not that I am biased). Tentatively our tournament is set for 2/3/18.

Yeah I figured it would be that date, which was my main reservation. Our preferred regional is probably going to be the same day, and I doubt Solon is sufficiently better than e.g. Westlake to end up going to like GPC regionals or some such. It's also unlikely that we'll get regionals dates earlier than mid-September, so I wouldn't want to register and then back out.
