25th ANNUAL INDEPENDENCE K-5 WRESTLING TOURNAMENT Independence High School Tuesday, February 1, 2011 TrackWrestling Model Format will be used. In and Out in 3½ hours including weigh-in. BENEFITS OF THIS FORMAT • Tournament gets wrestlers 4 matches targeting 1 every ½ hour so parents and wrestlers get in and out. • Wrestlers essentially weigh-in ahead of time by giving their estimated weight during the preregistration for bracketing purposes. • Bracketing is done the night before and will be available on-line so people know their mat number and match numbers ahead of time. • Wrestlers who fail to make the weight (a tolerance is allowed) are allowed to wrestle exhibition matches, so everyone who shows up has a chance to wrestle.
