$25.00 per wrestler .....NO WALK-INS
No double bracketing within the same session
Age Categories, Start Times & Period Length:A minimum of 20 minutes must be allowed between wrestlers matches, unless agreed upon by the coaches for a shorter time.
Age Groups- All wrestlers will be grouped by both age category and weight into 4-man brackets. Each wrestler will wrestle one-another giving each wrestler a total of 3 matches (round-robin format). There are many advantages to doing this. Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place wrestlers.
A wrestler can move up one age group with the permission of the tournament director, provided this request is made before bracketing is completed. A wrestler can only compete in one bracket for each session, either the morning or afternoon session. The only division that can wrestle in both morning and afternoon is the Intermediate division, because the wrestler can wrestle in the morning session as an Intermediate and move up one division to Novice for the afternoon session. The coach requesting the division change must show their current Wrestling Leader card. Therefore, this request cannot be made by anyone without a Wrestling Leader card.
Check-INS:
Head Gear will be required for all age groups. This is a USA Wrestling rule. ALL WRESTLERS WITH BRACES ON THEIR TEETH MUST HAVE PROTECTIVE MOUTH GUARDS.
Pre-registration:
Wrestlers are permitted to only register and wrestle in one (1) bracket regardless of staying within their own age group or up one age group.
