The format for the PHL Wrestling Tournament will be similar to years past. We have 9 teams this year. Brackets will be selected based on the amount of participants. 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 buy a T-Shirt. Thank you in advance. No wrestler who has not been entered by Friday January 18th, will compete.
