Double-Bracketing (Or Moving Up & Down in Weight Class)

   • Age Group Cut-Off Date: For RMN Events, the established date for the age group cut-off is January 1st. However, for the Cosmic Clash & Freak Show, the age group cut-off is the day of weigh-ins.

   • For Example: If you are 10 as of the Cosmic Clash and/or Freak Show, but you will be 11 as of January 1st, ONLY those matches competed in the 12-&-Under Division will count for special award considerations.

7. Those who win their fifth & sixth RMN Event will also win the RMN Championship Belt and the Ring of Fame.

8. If a wrestler begins the season competing at one weight class, but moves up and then back down a weight class, the matches wrestled in the higher weight will not counttoward special awards.
