Wow, this must be the first time the OIA were voted down on something they were totally against. In the past, they could always bank on the support from the MIL, BIIF, and KIF for votes. For the voting to be 100% OIA against the 3 tier system, and the rest of the leagues 100% for the 3 tier system, sends a powerful message. By the OIA (Araki) says that the Open has only two leagues participating, it cannot be considered a state championship. They should be very careful with what they're doing. In future voting, they might not get the support of the MIL, BIIF, and KIF. Also, the OIA ass u me that the MIL and BIIF will declare for the D1 tournament. If this stands as is, don't be surprised that the MIL and BIIF declares for the D2 tournament. That would leave on 2 leagues for the D1 championship. Which by Araki's assessment, doesn't qualify for a state championship. Repercussion may be done be the HHSAA to only have 2 OIA and 2 ILH teams in the D1 tournament. OIA chose wisely.
