Weigh-ins-
•    All no-show wrestlers are to be given to the head table at the close of weigh ins. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR REMOVAL OF SCRATCHED WRESTLERS AND PROPER TOURNAMENT SET UP AND OPERATION.
•    Weigh-ins will begin at 11:00 am and close at 11:45 am SHARP. All wrestlers must be present at the beginning of weigh-ins. You will not be allowed to leave the area to run-off any weight.
•    A skin check will be performed on every wrestler during the weigh-ins. We have professional medical personnel on site and anyone with suspicious skin problems will be removed from the tournament unless accompanied by a doctor’s note. The trainer has final say.

Coaching

•    A maximum of two Coaches are allowed in each wrestler’s corner. You will not be permitted to hang around the wrestling surfaces unless you are coaching. If the wrestler is on deck or in the hole they must sit down or be off to the side and not block the spectator’s view.
•    You will not be permitted to bring video cameras onto the competition area, unless you are authorized to be on the mat as a coach. The two coaches rule still applies and the coaching requirements above also apply. This area will be limited to wrestlers, coaches and tournament personnel.
Miscellaneous

We will be constantly monitoring this area and removing people who should not be there, if you are found to be in violation of these rules, you will be asked to leave the premises.
