Wasatch Youth & Jr. High Open

Saturday, January 9^th 2010

Wasatch High School

We will be running two separate tournaments back to back.  Morning:  5^th-Jr. High, Afternoon: Elementary Pre K- 4^th grade.  The purpose of these tournaments is to give each wrestler quality matches where they are not sitting in the gym all day waiting to wrestle.  ALL WRESTLERS WILL RECEIVE A MEDAL.  No League card required but recommended.

Cost:               $10

Format: Four man round-robin based on age and weight. All wrestlers in the 4 man bracket will wrestle each other and get 3 matches.  All Wrestlers will receive a medal.

Procedure: The wrestlers’ brackets are called to the staging area then sent to a mat.  The entire bracket is wrestled and wrestlers will immediately pick up medals.  Since 3-4 other brackets will be on the same mat, the wrestlers will have sufficient rest time.

Wrestlers will be divided by:

Grade:  Will try to keep grades together, but will only move one grade if needed.

Exception: Jr. High:  7^th grader could wrestle a 9^th grader

Weight: The wrestlers do not need to make a specific weight.

The wrestler will be put into a group of four wrestlers that weigh approximately the same weight.  (not to exceed 5 lbs. difference in smaller wrestlers & 10 lbs in larger wrestlers) Exception:  Parent/Coach approval

Ability:   When possible we will try and separate the advanced and the beginner wrestler.  Coaches need to determine the ability/skill of their wrestler on a scale of 1-5 (1 being a low skill/ability wrestler and 5 being a high skill/ability wrestler).
