The tournament is of course, double elimination. ALL rounds are 1 minute 30 seconds. They will be wrestled on 10 mats. (Five for the Jr. High, and five for the Middle School division) Matches will be scheduled by bout # through trackwrestling. All bout #?s will be posted on bracket sheets located on the upper deck. Each clock will show current bout # being wrestled. The only reason a wrestler should have his weight pass in the round without wrestling is if he/she has been beaten out of the tournament, he/she has a bye, or he/she is in the finals. Do not leave Friday night until you are sure you are finished wrestling, if you leave early your matches will be forfeited, we will NOT come back and wrestle them Saturday. The finals will be held Saturday as soon as we get to it. There will be a short break at this time to set up for the Championship round. Champion bios will be restricted to weight, Team/School, and participants name. The finals will begin with a parade of Champions, followed by the first four matches. The matches will be wrestled on four full-sized mats, two matches from each division at a time. All awards will take place at the end. We will continue this cycle of four and four until the finals are finished. After the finals, there will be a short break while the final team scores are tabulated, and then those awards will be given out. Only two coaches allowed per corner. No video, media, stat girls or etc will be allowed on the floor. Individual Awards The separate divisions are for individual placing only. Wrestlers will be placed 1st - 6th in each weight and awarded a custom medal. Champions will receive a T-shirt and a custom made bracket of their weight class. Team Awards The Middle School and Jr. High divisions will be combined for team awards. Team points will be calculated based on the highest placer in each of the 50 weights to give one overall state championship in each of the classifications (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A). Schools or teams will only receive team points from your highest placing wrestler per weight class. Points for the highest placer in each weight class are as follows: 1st - 16, 2nd - 12, 3rd - 9, 4th - 7, 5th - 5, 6th - 3.
