The format for the Affton Wrestling Tournament will be similar to years past. We have 12 teams this year. Brackets will be made to get wrestlers as many matches as possible. It will depend on how we are able to fill out each weight class. Brackets that will be used: 12 Man Scramble (Format 3.2 Place 6), 8 Man Scramble (Format 2.2 Place 8), 6 Man Round Robin & 4 Man Round Robin. Brackets will be drawn Friday night, based on the seeding information that you provide. The entry needs to be completed on Track Wrestling no later than 12:00 noon on Friday, December 1st. Saturday morning, at the conclusion of weigh-ins, we will have a brief scratch meeting to make any changes in the brackets. This tournament is a memorial to Esmond Ford. Esmond was a two-time State Champion alumnus and son of Head Coach Devon Ford, who tragically died in the fall of 2016. We will be selling T-Shirts to help finance a scholarship fund to assist wrestlers who want to continue their career at the next level. Please encourage your athletes to bring money and but a T-Shirt. Thank you in advance. No wrestler who has not been entered by Thursday December 1st, will compete. Wrestlers, who do not make weight, will not be placed in another weight class. They may be only replaced by non-bracketed-wrestlers who are weighed in and on your Alpha Sheet . Schedule: 6:45 a.m. ?
