This time of year I can only imagine this was the case for dozens of schools.
I would question whether Saturday should have been cancelled even if the forecast for that day had held up. In central Iowa they were only forecasting 1-3" for Saturday afternoon. That's an inconvenience, but that's winter in the Midwest.
I don't get why they just don't leave it up to the individual teams. If you decide not to come they refund you your entrance fee and just forfeit out your games. I would imagine the majority would have been able to make it. With a tournament pulling teams from different parts of the state alot of it can come down to where you're coming from as well.
