Eligibility/Membership: All participants to register must have a USAW Athlete Membership. Open to all wrestlers across any state with a USAW card. No limited athlete memberships are allowed or single event memberships. 

Age Groups: 

• Age groups listed are consistent with USAW's usawmembership.com/age_group_weight_chart

Weigh-Ins – Weigh Audits

• We will not be doing a full-blown on-site weigh-in of every wrestler.
• We will use the weight that the parents signed their wrestler up at during registration to pre-build all the brackets. We are using the “Honor System” with parents to correctly select their wrestlers’ weight class.
• We will be doing random weight audits of several brackets each session.
• During check-in, selected wrestlers will be sent over to weight audit. Their weight needs to be within 3% of whatever weight their parents pre-registered them at. For example, if the parent pre-registered their wrestler at 50 lbs., their wrestler can weigh no more than 51.5 lbs.
• If a wrestler is over-weight, the parent and wrestler must report to the head table immediately. The wrestler will then be removed from the tournament and no refund will be given.

Tournament/Bracketing:

• Our hope is that everyone will get as many matches as possible. Wrestlers will be grouped into Round Robins and brackets based on age and experience.
• All bracketing and tournament results/mat assignments will be run via usabracketing.com.

• Admission is $7 per person
• Children under 5 years old are free.
