Just across the lake from Rut a Thanksgiving tournament would fall outside the earliest allowable competition date for both girls and boys as mandated by the state. Girls starts the week after Thanksgiving, the 30th, with boys starting the week after that, which makes for a staggered state tourney schedule at the end of the season.
We did have Thanksgiving tourneys back "in the day" (the early 70's), which really messed up our traditional deer hunting schedules back then.

Doesn't happen here-our earliest allowable competition date is Nov.29 (Monday)!

I did use the term "area" broadly. Actually the tournament I am working is in Central Illinois not far from where I grew up. There are two tournaments I am aware of, the one I worked included that has games on Thanksgiving (I work in both too but only one on this day). I just wondered as I have not heard of another tournament that plays on this day in the state. I am sure there are other tournaments, I just have not seen them yet.
