MRVC Wrestling Tournament

Saturday, November19, 2016

9:00 a.m.

Tournament Time: A scratch meeting will be held in the Hospitality Room, room at 8:00 a.m. Competition will begin at 9:00am and continue until completion of all the tournament brackets.

Format: We will use 1 minute periods. Wrestlers will compete in three, or four-man brackets, and five if need be. This will be done by using beginner, intermediate and advanced divisions, with each wrestler wrestling all the other wrestlers in the bracket. Medals will be awarded to the first and second place finishers in each bracket.

We will use three full competition mats with brackets organized by numbers. We will use a bullpen style format and call out the bracket number according to number of rounds in that bracket. For example: Four-man brackets will be rounds 1-3, and three-man brackets will be rounds 2-3. Wrestlers will need to listen to bracket number and follow order.
