You will be able to drop or move up a weight class only if there is an open team spot available. Weigh-ins: All weigh-ins must be on Thursday night. There are NO exceptions for clubs that do not practice on Thursdays this week. Weight masters will still enter exact weights, so the Saturday Round Robin tournaments will be paired correctly. Remote weigh-in locations will be hosted by the sanctioned clubs. Each club hosting a weigh-in site will be responsible for posting the weigh-in time, at least a half hour segment between 5:00 and 8:00 PM on Thursday night. We will be hosting a weigh-in at Brighton High School in the wrestling room from 6:00-6:30 PM. Tournament Format: 1) - Friday night Greco-Roman State Championships will use current USA wrestling weight divisions found at www.themat.com. 2) - Saturday will follow the Madison Block four man round-robin format. There will be no pre-determined weights. Wrestlers will be put into groups of four, based on their weight and division. Each group will be assigned a mat for the tournament and wrestle each other until the bracket is complete. The brackets and mats will change for each of the different styles. We will also have staggered starts. See Tournament Schedule. Match/Period Times: Greco: Best 2 out of 3, two minute periods, 30 sec. rest between periods, all ages.
