The KHSAA has completed the final development of the electronic participation list submission. This task, which used to take hours for some to compile and is required of each school each year, should just be a couple of clicks away for all of our schools with the exception of the eight to ten who only enroll one sex and therefore haven’t had the “pleasure” of completing the Title IX reports. The reports cannot be submitted manually and must be submitted using the online system.
For those who have completed and submitted all elements of the Title IX report, your data may need a final review, especially related to cheer, and then you should be perfectly ready to go. From our experience with the beta testers, there were some who didn’t keep a good cheer roster during the year […]
05/09/12 – Update on New Bass Fishing Championship
Ahoy Mates! Since the announcement in February that we were sponsoring a bass fishing championship, the questions have rolled in fast and furious. We have worked with the great folks at FLW, as well as very helpful reps of BASS Federation Nation and other groups to try and ensure that the championship is done in a manner that will stir excitement for all, ensure safety for all competitors, a participation opportunity for students, not effect those already participating in fishing activities, and promote an awareness of the great natural resources we have available. With that in mind, this is the first of a series of posts as we work toward implementation of our first championship in April of 2013. As more becomes available, we will post both here and online on our web site.
Thanks!!

05/01/12 – Reminder about 2013 and 2014 scheduling
Just a reminder to all football schools.
Have received four or five phone calls this week about scheduling for future years. Keep in mind the complete tournament and alignment rules are at http://www.khsaa.org/handbook/tournamentrules/fbtournamentrules.pdf on the KHSAA web site.
While it may seem advantageous to jump up and start scheduling for 2013, you are doing so at your own risk. As soon as second month enrollment numbers are received for the 2012-2013 school year for our new schools or those tremendously impacted by recent consolidations (Nelson County, Thomas Nelson, South Warren, Greenwood, Warren Central, Shelby County and Collins), we will be able to more accurately tell schools if anyone will be adjusting classes for 2013 based on enrollment. So there is a real possibility that at least one school will have to adjusting, just based simply on the law of averages.
Please understand if you sign contracts now, you will be liable for any contract […]
04/27/12 – 2012 Playing Rule Changes – Part 1 of several – Field markings
First thing I want to talk about with this year’s rule changes (2012) is the change in restrictions on what can go on a field. In a time when our schools are struggling to find the resources to manage their athletic programs, it seemed a bit outdated that we still prohibited logos on football fields. While I am a traditionalist at heart, I really don’t think the game is impacted by a few logos and marks on the field. So now, our schools are allowed to have corporate logos and other marks on their field. The only restriction is that these CANNOT block or cover up the required marks every five yards, as well as the nine yards marks, etc. This should allow our schools to have some source of revenue generated by the markings and still not impact the management of the game..
04/27/12 – 2012 Football Intro
OK, I hate to admit it. And most will deny it to be able to be true. I have always considered myself a fairly prolific talker, and probably a bit wordy in writing. So its interesting that Football, still my sport, is the one lagging behind in blog entries. Going to try and remedy that in the coming days with some important updates for football coaches, officials and fans.
Let me know if there is a subject you want to see as a blog topic by sending me a quick email to jtackett@khsaa.org
As time permits, I will try and answer your questions and perhaps, even expound a little (OK, the staff here would call it pontificate a little, about your subject.
Thanks!

Commissioner’s Remarks
General Session, 2011 KHSAA Annual Meeting
When I sat down a few weeks ago with our new board president and discussed the board’s evaluation from last year and plans for the coming year, he told me he thought I might want to take a different twist during this time I have with you. I had told him of many things that I had on my mind as we go forward, and plans for some operational changes and potential regulation changes. He looked at me and said, “That’s great. But don’t just tell me, tell them. Why don’t you do that when you have the schools together?” So if you are disappointed or disillusioned with this session, I guess we can […]
2011 Annual Meeting – Proposal by Proposal
This is the second part of a two-part effort to talk about the 2011 KHSAA Annual Meeting.There are twelve proposals on the agenda this year. Seems like about the right number, but very few if any are really significant in that implementation will not be extremely difficult for the membership.
Proposal 2011 – 1 – A proposal to revise Bylaw 6 and 7 to clarify the applicability of each rule between domestic and foreign students. Let’s face it, not all transferring students fit into the cookie cutter rule and forms of yesterday. We are in the middle of a military conflict that has resulted in thousands of new citizens coming to the United States for a variety of reasons. But recently, we have seen more coming as an entire family unit. When our schools are asked to process these students, it isn’t always clear whether or […]
Annual Meeting – Every School’s Chance for Involvement!
This is a great time of year. In all areas of the state, school has started. The Friday night lights are lit up, the fields and courts are in use every night (and seems like 24 hours in some areas and schools). But then reality sets in, and its time to deal with some of the “business issues” surrounding the KHSAA. And a lot of that business is accomplished through the Annual Meeting. Truth be told, other than the championship final events and recognition ceremonies, this event is one of my favorites. Our staff gets to sit down and meet with those people in the trenches at the local schools, and talk about issues facing both groups. Our philosophies and perspectives are different, so too naturally are our opinions.I wanted to take some time with this particular blog, to talk about the proposals that will be voted on by the membership.

Prime Date Basketball Scheduling Requirement
In fairness to the participants in girls’ basketball, and those within the programs including parents, students and fans, the Board of Control has developed this policy to ensure that there are opportunities for girls’ basketball to be played on “prime dates”.
These dates are Friday night, any time on Saturday, and any time on Sunday. Compliance with this policy neither expresses nor implies that a member school is in (or not in) compliance with Title 20, U.S.C. Titles, 1681-1688, et. Seq. (Title IX).
Prime Date Requirement
Sec. 1) BASIC REQUIREMENT (40% rule)
a) Each basketball season, a member school shall meet one of two alternative methods of prime date compliance with respect to the scheduling of basketball games. The member schools shall:
(1) Play at least forty (40) percent of its girls’ home basketball games on a prime date, defined as Friday night, Saturday or Sunday, wherein tournaments shall only count as one game played […]
