stanmms 4 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Starting this Wrestling Season all wrestlers must compete in a Regional Tournament in order to gain participation in the State Tournament. Posted below are the Regions as outlined in the Spring 2008 meeting. Bylaw 6. Regions - Regional host sites shall be rotated amongst regional schools. Each region is responsible for establishing a schedule of host sites in a fair manner. Regional sites must be approved no less than (1) year ahead of time. REGIONAL PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED TO WRESTLE AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT(exceptions include bereavement, injury, or illness with doctor's excuse. An injured or ill wrestler will be required to WEIGHIN at the sametime as all other wrestlers at the designated regional host (satelite locations are allowed). Weigh-ins shall be performed within 24 hours before the scheduled start of the tournament. Weigh-ins shall be supervised by no less than (2) coaches from different teams. These weights will then be turned in to the Board and then forwarded to the State Tournament host where they will be used for bracketing purposes. NOTE: Region weights will be used for STATE.We need teams to hold Regionals in all but the Louisville Region, being held by Fern Creek. Holding youth tournaments is an excellent way to promote your team, raise money for your program, learn how to run a tournament among friends, and help the kids in our state gain valuable experience.If you're interested in holding a tournament please email me at stanmms@fuse.netL.

matdad 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 The 1st posting on this topic says the regional weights will be sent to state for brackets. Do the kids have to weigh-in at state also? I assume yes based on the way the 5-6, and 7-8 kids are being grouped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume yes based on the way the 5-6, and 7-8 kids are being grouped.I don't think so. The way I understand it is the regional weight will be used for the state tournament weight. Since region isn't a "qualifier" the bracketing at region really doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
