Divisions & Eligibility: Age divisions for all MN/USA events use the USAW 2 year birth year ranges, as follows: 

• 6U = Birth Year 2020-2021
• 8U = Birth Year 2018-2019
• 10U = Birth Year 2016-2017
• 12U = Birth Year 2014-2015
• 14U = Birth Year 2012-2013

**Qualifier Divisions: Events with MN/USA "Qualifier" divisions feature 6U-14U co-ed brackets (both boys & girls can equally participate) with qualification points towards regional / state tournament qualification. All qualifier division participants will accumulate qualification points towards MN/USA Regional Tournaments (for the 10U and 12U divisions) and qualification points toward MN/USA State Tournament (for the 6U qualifier & 8U qualifier divisions. All 14U qualifier participants are auto-qualified to the MN/USA Regional tournaments, but can still acquire results to help improve PIN ratings for seeds at Regionals. For each qualifier bracket, the following qualification points will be awarded: 1st place = 40 points, 2nd place = 20 points, 3rd place = 10 points and 4th place = 0 points. The Canby qualifier features "Double Points" where the 1st-3rd place result values double (to 80, 40, and 20).  All results aid PIN ratings that will help influence seeding criteria at Regions/State as well. All participants in the qualifier division will also accumulate "REPS" points, with the top 10 in each age group (including results from freestyle/greco events) awarded at the MN/USA banquet (recognized in the Fall of 2026).

NOTE: South Dakota Wrestlers welcome and encouraged to come! However, only MN participant residents (wrestlers with Minnesota addresses) can accrue qualification points for the MN/USA Regionals and State events. However, participants from all state (SD, IA, etc) can participate in this event...just no qualification points will be acquired as only MN resident participants can participate in MN/USA Regions and State Tournament events.
