Format: This year we will once again be using Trackwrestling to run our tournament online. We will not have a traditional seeding meeting. Each team will have a window on time to enter your athletes and their records. In an effort to provide all wrestlers an opportunity to wrestle the most matches we will try to use a 24-man scramble format with wrestlers advancing on the second day to an 8- man championship or consolation bracket. Wrestlers will be seeded into pools based on the criteria we have set up in Trackwrestling. The athletes will wrestle all opponents in their pool. Seeding Criteria: 1. Head to Head 2. State Placer 2019 3. State Qualifier 2019 4. Hickman Invitational Champion or Runner-up in 2019 5.
