Aberdeen, MD 21001

Fee: FREE TO WRESTLERS

At this event last year we had an enormous turnout, and will result in a very long and slow day. All teams will need to contribute a great deal of help to the running of the tournament, to ensure that we put on an event that is a good experience for all wrestles and their parents.

Format: 4 man round robin groups, wrestling 3 one-minute periods with 30 sec. overtime followed by 30 second rideout. Medals will be awarded based on:

-Record

-In the event of tied record, margin of victory

Set up: The gym will be set up Friday February 2, 2018. Teams must send TWO (2) representatives for Setup: Time: 7PM Teams Responsible:

Bel Air

Rising Sun

Aberdeen

North East

Havre de Grace

Officials: MWOA (this will free coaches to be able to help organize the tournament)

Schedule:

7 &UNDER (divided into 5U, and 6-7) will weigh in from 7am-8am, and wrestle by 8:30am. Wrestling hopefully will conclude by 11:00am, but will likely run longer.

8-10 will weigh in from 10:30am-11:30am, and wrestle by 12:00pm. Wrestling will hopefully conclude by 2:00pm-2:30pm.

11-14 will weigh in from 1:00pm-2:00pm, and wrestle by 2:30pm. They should be done by 4:30pm.

Any delay or lack of organization on our part in the early rounds of the tournament will create a problem for all groups that come afterwards. With the room set up for 4 mats, it will be very crowded in the gym, and the situation will rapidly get uncomfortable if we have one age group sitting around waiting for another to finish. INSTEAD OF LINING UP KIDS, DIVIDING THEM INTO GROUPS, AND GETTING THEM TO THEIR ASSIGNED MATS DURING EACH OF THE THREE WEIGH IN TIMES WE WILL BE USING TRACK WRESTLING TO GROUP WRESTLERS INTO THE GROUPS. PLEASE INPUT YOU NOVICE WRESTLERS INTO THE NOVICE TOURNAMENT OF TRACK WRESTLING.
