UPDATED NEWS: All wrestlers will receive a 1-lb weight allowance at weigh-ins due to the fact that Plymouth wrestles the night before. 2005 Marty Loy Classic Saturday, December 17, 2005 Fond du Lac High School We will be running a one-day tournament with 23 teams participating. We will be using a 16-man bracket with rattails to determine our final 16 competitors. We will wrestleback to 5th. All wrestlers will be seeded from 1-24. Those wrestlers seeded 1-8 will be automatically entered and seeded into the 16-man championship bracket. If a bracket has less than 24 wrestlers, the next highest seeded wrestlers will be added to the championship bracket. All lower seeds will wrestle in rattails to get into the scoring `championship` tournament. Rattail matches will not count for team scoring. Winners of the rattails will be seeded into the 16-man championship draw. Losers of the rattails will be placed in a non-team scoring `consolation` bracket so that they may get additional varsity matches. This format allows us to hopefully seed well and decrease the chances that the WIAA daily 5-match rule will come into effect. In the case that a wrestler who competed in a rattail match does wrestle back to the 5-8th places, that would be his 6th match of the day and he would not be able to compete. Thus those 2 wrestlers would split the team points. We will also be hosting a JV tourney simultaneously that will be conducted using 4-man round robin brackets.
