jnv858 40 Report post Posted April 6, 2023 Coaches, Mark the date, we will be hosting the Freestyle and Greco State Tournament at Great Crossing High School on April 29th. I have attached the flyer and should have pre-registration link available by tomorrow. Format: Double Elimination brackets for each weight-class. Brackets with 6 or less wrestlers will use a Round-Robin format. Size of each bracket will be determined by the number of wrestlers entered per weight-class. Weight Classes may be combined to ensure wrestlers get the maximum amount of matches. Age Groups are based on Birth year not your age at the time of the tournament. Bout Length: Greco-Roman & Freestyle: 2, 2:00 Periods (Bantam-Cadet), 2, 3:00 Periods (USA Junior) Awards: Medals will be given to the Top 4 Placers in each weight class.

gator1 32 Report post Posted April 24, 2023 I'm curious if there's another way that KY USA could be handling insurance other than forcing all athletes to upgrade to a whole membership? Is there a one time fee, for example? Requiring the whole membership basically triples the cost of this event for most kids, since most will not have the whole membership and likely won't have a need it in the future. If there's no better way, then I understand. I'm just looking to knock down every barrier we can, and I know for many of the kids that I coach that cost is a major deal breaker for them. We train all off season for close to no cost, and I'd like to continue to make it accessible to everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
