TOURNAMENT INFORMATION Welcome to the MVC/Coulee Conference Invitational. This is the tenth year of this event here at Holmen. The conference decided to combine this activity because at the time there were only six schools in each conference and their last Saturday event did not have much wrestling activity. Due to a `snow out`, C-F-C needed a tournament, so we`ve added them to this year`s contest. With 13 schools engaged in competition this will be a tough event, both wrestlers and fans look forward to this last test before the state tournament begins. Today`s team placement does impact the MVC conference race. Conference position will be decided through the duals and tournament placement. Enjoy the wrestling. TIME SCHEDULE * 8:30 AM Weigh-ins * 9:00-9:30 AM Coaches Meeting - LGI * 10:00 AM-12:20 PM Preliminaries - Approximately 40 matches-4 mats Quarter-Finals - 56 matches - 4 mats Wrestle-Backs - 10 matches - 4 mats *1:15 PM-4:15 PM Semi-Finals + Wrestle-Backs - 84 matches - 4 mats Wrestle-Backs - 28 matches - 4 mats *4:45 PM-7:00 PM 1st-3rd-5th-7th - 56 matches - 4 mats This time schedule should be accurate. We would move ahead of schedule if wrestling moves faster. The event is on 16 man bracketing and seeded. All early rounds byes were drawn and then pairing occurred after the byes were drawn. There were approximately four preliminaries per weight class last year. The wrestle-back rounds were changed for this year to eliminate the potential for six matches in a day. This also resulted in placing wrestlers through eighth place. AWARDS There are five medals per weight class. Individual awards will be done at the conclusion of the second weight class above the weight. 103 will occur after 119. Team awards will be done at the conclusion. Picture plaques are awarded to the top two teams in each conference. TICKET PRICES - Adults- $7.00 Students- $5.00 There is one ticket price for the event for each group. If you arrive at 10:00 AM or 5:00 PM the price is the same. We will empty the gym before finals, but you may also be checked for your stamp to re-enter the gym at anytime through the day. CONCESSIONS Food concessions are by the Viking Wrestling Club and the Holmen FFA. OFFICIALS The officials for the event are determined by each conference. They are Rodney Hoesley, Lynn Isensee, Derrick Olson, Ed Pryztarski, Chuck Walek, and Travis Leis.
