Beginner Division Eligibility Rules: The overall goal/intent of the beginners divisions is to match up wrestlers with little to no experience together to help acclimate our newer kids into the realm of competition. Entrants in the beginners division must meet the following criteria:

  • 1st or 2nd year wrestlers (not winning any state titles)
  • 3rd year wrestlers are welcome if they haven’t competed in any regional, state or national tournaments in the past 
  • Tournament Directors will have final discretion to review entries and for overall governance of these division entries
  • Coaches should also review tournament entries across their clubs to help ensure the compliance and spirit of the eligibility rules and to help us create a great experience for these events. The tournament director/tournament operations director will review entries toward compliance of these rules and reserve the right to remove wrestlers from the tournament - without refund - if a wrestler does not fit the above criteria.
