The tournament is seeded the morning of the event using criteria setup in trackwrestling to place contestants. Special consideration will be made on an individual basis, but due to the early date and infusion of untested freshmen, we acknowledge difficulty in accurate seeding. The best wrestler will prevail! Preliminary line-ups including extras (see below) should be entered online by 9:00PM ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2nd. 3. Based on this information, if there are openings at any of the weights, we would like to reserve these open spots for wrestlers from teams that would fill in as ?unattached? wrestlers. We will identify the extras at each weight class based on criteria entered by the coaches. Our consideration will be loosely weighted as follows: 1.) Varsity experience and success, 2.) seniority, 3.) number of extras the team already has compared to the other teams in consideration. If you have a senior or a quality wrestler who cannot make your varsity lineup, please enter him as an extra on your lineup. I will notify coaches Friday morning as to who may bring extras based on availability and the mentioned criteria. 4. Coaches should enter seeding criteria prior to the Thursday evening deadline to get best consideration for extras, but may make changes through Friday @ 11pm. Head to head must be entered between Thursday @ 9pm until Friday @ 11pm. Changes after this point will be made at the coaches meeting. 5. Coaches may make changes to their lineups online until Friday evening at 11pm. If you run into problems, email me at logan@watertown.k12.wi.us.
