Excuse my geographic ignorance but I believe you need to contact Efrin Quirino at River City Wrestling for Regional information if you are in the Louisville region.

[stanmms 4]

Suggestion-instead of writing in caps (yelling) and using excessive punctuation, maybe you could PM new guy and he could update the regions.  I am sure it was just an oversight.

I noticed on the flyer for the youth state tourney that we are responsible for providing 4 tables workers?  Is this something mandatory from the association?  I don't think I have enough parents w/ the knowledge to work tables.  I've only started grasping the concept this year.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Supplying table workers is something that was decided at the youth state wrestling meeting.  If you come from a smaller team and only have a few that can help, we will work with you. 

[stanmms 4]

In 30' you can train just about anybody to be a tableworker.  Get some bout sheets, from your High school coach or off the web, have a couple kids wrestle a match with a ref while scoring the match and you'll be fine.  Parents are always a bit apprehensive at first but actually enjoy it and learn much more about the sport. 

We only need one person to keep score, another to flip the score pad, one timer, and one more to keep the kids lined up on deck.  Three people can do it just as well if the scorekeeper also operates the score board.

We appreciate all the teams help and feel it is vital to keep Youth wrestling growing.  In just 3 yrs we've added well over 40 new teams.

[Wildblueeyes 6]

Why not bring some of your high school wrestlers or stat girls.

Is there going to be team trophies?

If so how do point scorers work in youth?

[stanmms 4]

Yes, there will be team trophies.  If there are multiple kids, from the same team at one class, only the highest scorer receives team points.  This means only one point scorer per weight/age class.

No advancement points.

Thanks Stan,

one more for ya...if you know...

my son who is 6..

has no set weight class

How does that work?

[Ranger123 43]

my son who is 6..

How does that work?

If he weighs 50 pounds, then they will make a bracket with kids within 10% of each other.  So the bracket could end up being 6 kids that weigh between 48 and 52 pounds.

Thanks Ranger

How does that work with team score then?

[Ranger123 43]

Thanks Ranger

How does that work with team score then?

The same way.  Each different age/weight group is considered a different point scorer.

[Wildblueeyes 6]

Can Ranger or someone answer this question?  For example, 70lb weight class, the older kids 11-12,  are you going to have a bracket for 11 year olds and one for the 12 year olds or are they going to be mixed?

That is a good question.  I don't recall how it was done last year, but there will likely be 2 or 3 brackets of kids in that age/weight group.  So when the group is split into separate brackets I assume age is one of the criteria used.  I believe they also try to split up kids from the same team.

[stanmms 4]

11 & 12 year olds will not be separated.  It is one division. 

In the case of multiple brackets within the same weight an effort will be made to base brackets on age then weight.

I heard that there will be more than one state champ for each weight class! How does everyone feel about that?

[Ranger123 43]

I heard that there will be more than one state champ for each weight class! How does everyone feel about that?

Do we have to get that started again?  The bottom line is we are cutting the brackets at 8.  If there are 45 11-12 year old 65 pounders then yes there will be 6 state champs.  Oh well.  This is about participation and building the sport throughout the state not making sure we are crowning the true champion of the world.
