```Gardens Invitational
NO EXTRA WRESTLERS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE TOURNAMENT - THIS WILL NOT CHANGE SO DO NOT ASK
NO CHANGES TO ROSTERS AFTER THEY ARE CLOSED DOWN AT 7PM ON 1/6/23. THE ONLY CHANGES WILL BE SCRATCHES. IF A KID DOESN`T MAKE WEIGHT HE WILL BE SCRATCHED. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO GIRLS AS I WILL BE GROUPING THEM ANYHOW.
Coaches will have until 7pm on 1/6/23 to enter lineups & seeding information. Make sure you answer every question. IF YOU DONT HAVE YOUR ROSTER IN ON TIME YOUR KIDS WILL NOT BE ENTERED.
I will open rosters back up from 7:01pm to 8:00pm on 1/6/23 to enter HEAD TO HEAD info. IF YOU DON`T INCLUDE YOUR SEEDING CRITERIA OR HEAD 2 HEAD INFO YOUR KIDS WILL BE DRAWN IN. SO MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS WHEN INPUTTING YOUR ROSTER AND LOGIN AT 7:01PM AND PUT YOUR HEAD 2 HEAD INFO IN. AS I SAID HEAD TO HEAD ENTRY WILL CONCLUDE AT 8:00PM.
