Seeding Information:  We will use https://arena.flowrestling.org to enter wrestler data and run the tournament. The link to input
your wrestler’s information is:  https://events.flowrestling.org/event/195609b2-ac09-4c6c-a5a6-74e3730b7346

Please have all information input by 9:00 PM Sunday, February 16th. This will give the State Finalist an opportunity to adjust their wrestlers In-state records.

Seeding Criteria:
     1.  Overall In-state record (playoffs included)
     2.  Head to Head (If winning percentage is within 10% points)
     ***  The weight class a wrestler enters at Upper State, they have to count all in-state matches at that weight and above. 
            A wrestler MAY NOT carry record up, but MUST take record down.  *** 

The Seeding Meeting will be held at Laurens High School on Monday, February 11th @ 10:00 AM.

***  NOTE: If any wrestler is a scratch before weigh-ins on Friday, then we will adjust the bracket.  If a wrestler misses weight, the bracket will also be re-drawn. This is all in an attempt to get the fairest brackets for everyone.  ***Hotels and Directions:

2.  If you do not have a FloArena account, create one for free. Remember this login ID and password as you can use it for future events that are run on FloArena and use online registration or login with your FloArena login.
3.  If you have a FloArena account, login to your account.
4.  Once you are logged-in/registered, choose “Proceed as Coach” on the banner page.
5.  Fill in your information. Add your wrestlers in-State record for seeding purposes.  Seeding will be done based on this record. All seeding changes will be handled at your respective seeding meetings (head-2-head, etc). For the record, if your wrestler does not have 10 total matches, add losses to his record to bring the total to 10. (e.g. Wrestler is 1-4 for the season, you will add 5 losses to his record to bring his total matches to 10. Enter 1-9 As his record)
6.  Do not select anything for the Rec Mod field. This is for admin use only.
7.   Add your team and add your wrestlers (screen is pretty user friendly). You can save your info in to rosters. These wrestlers will remain in your roster for years until you remove them.
8.  Ensure that everything is correct with your entries (Correct weight class, correct spellings, correct grade, etc)
9.  Follow the onscreen instructions to continue through the process. No payment will be made/received over this online registration. You will be responsible for the money being paid to the host school prior to them being able to weigh-in (the same as in the past).
10.  When completed, you will receive a registration invoice of your entries. I would advise printing this off and bringing with you to the tournament for any issues that may occur.
11.  All registrations must be completed via this online registration by the time decided for your tournament.
12.  Any scratches or changes must be reported to the tournament director by Friday of the tournament at 10:00 AM.
