Norm Stewart said at a press conference Thursday it was better to safe than sorry.
“We got to the point where there are so many states involved and their organizations,” Stewart said, “so we just decided we’re going to postpone it and put it off.”
Stewart says organizers are looking ahead to the second week of December 2021 for the next event.
