Arrival: Park in the main parking lot on the SW side of the building and enter the main entrance doors. Doors will open at 7:45am.

Age Groups & Divisions: Age divisions for all MN/USA events use the USAW 2 year birth year ranges, as follows (for the 2026-27 season): 6U = Birth Year 2021-2022, 8U = Birth Year 2019-2020, 10U = Birth Year 2017-2018, 12U = Birth Year 2015-2016, 14U = Birth Year 2013-2014.  Competition divisions will include (co-ed) "Qualifier" divisions, a (co-ed) "Beginners'" division and Girls Only division. Girls division this year has been moved to Session #1.

Membership / Eligibility: A current USAW Athlete membership is required to register/participate. The Girls or Beginner divisions (only) allow wrestlers to register without annual USAW membership through the a “Take-A-Shot” 1 Day membership initiative, at a cost of $10 (membership fee). Membership is incremental to registration fee. See information available on the Membership tab on how to purchase. Age groups include 6U/8U/10U/12U/14U (see birth years on divisions tab).

Format: Scratch weight. 4-man round-robin brackets when possible.

Check-In / Weigh-Ins Process: Random Weight Audits will be done instead of full weigh-ins. Please see weigh in tab for further information.All wrestlers must check in when they arrive at the event - at any time - as you do not need to wait until their check in time.
