NOTE!!! - MADISON WEIGHT CLASSES FOR 8U – 10U and 12U ONLY!!!!
We will be using a Madison system for these age groups so that the wrestlers will get matches when traveling to a qualifier. Our first priority would to be is to group the same age group to get them matches but PA/USA Wrestling will use its good judgement to move a wrestler up a weight class to get them matches. Each wrestler will have the right to refuse the merger and movement but will not wrestle in the event and forfeit their entry fee.
We plan to merge weight classes based on a 10% weight differential.
In the event there are not enough competitors to make a 5 person bracket within a division, mergers with other age or experience levels may be required in order to guarantee matches. Tournament organizers will make merger decisions based on age, experience and weight to ensure a competitive, fun and safe environment. Competitors will be notified if they are moved into a different bracket and have the right to refuse to compete if so, resulting in a refund.
