Coaches Must Read
1. The registration will close when the tournament is full. Please
return completed registration along with check ASAP. Every year
we are full so there will be some teams who receive an invitation
but will not be able to enter their team. You may reserve your spot
by sending in a check for the number of wrestlers who will be
attending at any time prior to roster information deadline.
2. MARCH 19th IS THE ROSTER INFORMATION DEADLINE.
This means that we must receive wrestler information BY this
DATE or roster spots will be forfeited. Typically all spots are filled
well before this date, so you won’t want to wait.
3. Coaches are required to have a USA coaches
card or pay the admission price.
4. We have also decided to have the schoolboy division use weight
classes as follows: 70,75,80,85,90,95,100,105,110,115,120,125,130,
135,140,150,160,170,185,200,220,285. With awards for the top 6 in
this division. There will be NO Grand champion matches this year.
THERE WILL BE NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR COOLERS

WRESTLERS TO BRING WATER IN. THIS IS THE CIVIC
CENTER POLICY NOT OURS

Coaches Passes
In an effort to keep the mats clear and the tournament moving we WILL limit the number
of people on the floor. Only people with coach’s passes will be allowed on the mats.
Understanding that in special Circum stances parents may need to be at the mats with young
wrestlers they will have to borrow a pass form one of their team coaches. We will send passes
to each team by mail or give them out at registration. If you need additional passes it will be at
the discretion of the tournament committee. Please contact Pete Eastman with any questions.
