Here are a few things to keep in mind…
1) The event is a 1 day event - April 28th 2012 @ Union College (Messa Rink) - Schenectady NY.
2) Registration is still open. It will remain open until Thursday April 26th. This is our first year, so we felt we should be accommodating. Spread the word to your teammates or friends.
3) Please ensure that you have totally completed the registration process. Some registrants have exited prior to paying and they will be removed from the event thursday evening if they do not adjust accordingly. If you have registered and do not plan on attending the event, please have the common courtesy to let us know in advance.
4) Make sure your accolade information is 100% correct, there isn't any "true seeding", but we will separate accomplished wrestlers in the same group. Also, please make sure your elected weight class, grade and other pertinent information is accurate.
5) Make sure you have the enclosed skin form filled out if you have any skin issues. You will be pulled from the competition If you have any questionable skin alignments and DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER documentation with you.
6) Weigh ins are Friday afternoon 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, to evening 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM.
