Girls Only Division: Features all age groups (6U, 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U) for all skill levels for girls. All our girls divisions will bracket and separate based on skill/experience whenever possible. Participants in this division will NOT accumulate regional or state qualification points - since the MN/USA State Tournament Girls Division is an open tournament where there is no qualification criteria. However, results from the MN/USA Girls Open divisions WILL accrue points towards REPS awards for Girls division awards. 
All Girls Only Divisions Feature the "Take-A-Shot" - 1 Day Membership Initiative: Girls division participants, if they do not have already an annual ($60) USAW card membership,are allowed to participate via the "Take a Shot" promotion and buy a 1 day ($10) trial membership to see what MN/USA and USAW are all about. You do not need to be a current MN/USA Wrestling member to participate! Please visit our website here Take A Shot for more information! 

Beginners Division (Co-Ed): Also known as the "Beginners Bash" division continues with the goal of growing the sport of wrestling to increase competition opportunities for our newer/less experienced wrestlers. Participants in this division will NOT accumulate regional or state qualification points or points towards REPS awards, as this division is purely for fun and to gain experience. These divisions of our events allow a space and time for beginner/novice wrestlers (with limited experience in competition and the sport in general) to start their own journey in competing at wrestling tournaments. Each Beginner Bash event will feature Co-Ed brackets to enable all boys and girls with less experienced wrestlers to gain experience vs. kids with similar skill levels. 

• Membership Options: Participants in the Beginners division can either register with their annual USAW membership; or can utilize the "Take-A-Shot" - 1 Day Membership from buying a 1 day ($10) trial membership to see what MN/USA and USAW are all about. You do not need to be a current MN/USA Wrestling member to participate! Please visit our website here Take A Shot for more information! 
• 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.
