05/7/13 – Track Realignment and Bowling Championship Site Selection Highlight May Board of Control Meeting
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 7, 2013
The Board of Control conducted its final meeting of the 2012-13 academic year at the KHSAA Offices in Lexington on Tuesday. Among the items discussed, the Board of Control approved a draft for new alignment in Track and Field, selected a new site for the Ebonite/KHSAA Bowling State Championship, and approved a recommendation to elevate Assistant Commissioner Butch Cope to Associate Commissioner.
The new proposed alignment for Track and Field, which was last aligned in 2008-09, places approximately 35% of schools in Class 1A, 40% of schools in Class 2A, and the top 25% of schools in Class 3A based on enrollment figures. The new alignment was created with the aim that larger schools have an inherently higher probability of having multiple athletes in different events and should compete more among themselves (as in football), but also recognizes that many of […]
05/3/13 Bowling Update
We would like to share some information with schools as we continue our work on KHSAA bowling rules and interpretations.
The bowling advisory committee met and had some great input and discussion. Here are the updates from that meeting and KHSAA staff discussion:
We are looking at alignment as more schools add bowling teams.
Singles only entries are being considered, if a school is unable to sponsor a team, but can sponsor individuals in the postseason.
Moving the start of the season up to October 1st is not possible at this time without a bylaw proposal change from a school. Nothing prohibits a school’s bowling team from practicing before the October 1 date, but there would be no catastrophic insurance in place and attendance could not be mandatory.
Reminders and Clarifications:
The Ebonite/KHSAA State Championship will be on February 13th & 14th for 2014. The regional window will be January 27th through February 8th.
Numbers on the […]

11/12/12 Online Rules Clinic Period Extended
The free period for the mandatory online bowling rules clinic is being extended until November 30. Any coach who has taken the clinic since the deadline, and paid the $100 late fee, will be refunded. In order for your coach to receive credit, they must first be entered by the school into the schools coaching personnel and login to the school page of the KHSAA website (http://schools.khsaa.org/authorize/login.php?url=/index.html). If the coach is new, they must first create a password before logging in. Once logged in they should choose “view online rules clinics” from the menu.
The reason for the extension is the due to the late hiring of assistant coaches, and the fact that assistants are required to view the clinic being new this year.
