'AYWO-AAU Sweatman Slam January 2nd, 2021 Bob Jones High School 650 Hughes Rd, Madison, AL 35758 Google Map You have the war hammer and the Rudis sword. The next item the Gladiator needs is their helmet. This week?s coliseum battle takes place in the jungles of Hartselle, AL. Come out to showcase your engrained wrestling skills that you have been working on since November. Now that the Middle School and JV seasons are over, come and join us at AYWO for the end of the School Boy season and have a chance to win the Spartan Helmet. This week the best of the best will be awarded with custom engraved miniature gladiator helmet to the Outstanding Wrestlers and Most Valuable Wrestler in each age division. The helmets the Gladiators used protected their heads and parts of their faces. The helmets were designed to take the full force of a strike from a Gladiators opponent and not harm the wearer. These helmets not only provided protection, but they also did not interfere with the Gladiators field of vision. Criteria for Most Valuable Wrestler / Most Team Points: *Advanced brackets only* Most amount of team points for the tourney and must be champion of their bracket. Criteria for Most Outstanding wrestler / Most Pins: *Advanced brackets only* Most number of pins and must be champion of their bracket. * In the event of a tie the wrestler with the least amount of time on the mat will be selected. *A wrestler may earn 1 Gladiator award per event* MANDATORY PRE-REGISTRATION Please note that wrestlers will need their AAU Card and Trackwrestling number to pre-register.
