Challenge Matches are only applicable for Schoolboy, Cadet & Juniors. If a State Champion loses a challenge match he is still the State Champion. AWARDS Awards will be given to the top six placers in each weight class. Team trophies for Club Championship. NATIONAL TEAM QUALIFICATION All wrestlers in all divisions except Juniors qualify automatically for the Western Regional Kids/Cadet Championships in Pocatello, Idaho in June. Wrestlers can wrestle any weight class they would like at West Regionals. They can wrestle lower or higher than what they wrestled at State. Wrestlers who do not automatically qualify must apply through the petition process for any open spots that become available. This tournament is also the official qualifying event for all Utah National Teams for Schoolboys, Cadets, and Juniors. Wrestlers must qualify at the weight at which they intend to compete at the National Duals and/or at the Asics Cadet & Junior National Championships in Fargo (challenge matches will happen in the case weights are different). The champions of the Schoolboy, Cadet and Junior divisions win the right to be on the national teams for the national duals events. Junior division champions also win the right to represent Team Utah at the Junior Western Duals. Only the top 3 placers in the Cadet and Junior divisions gain automatic qualifying spots for Fargo (there are other ways to qualify for Fargo so even if you don?t place in the top 3 you will most likely be able to attend Fargo if you want to). In the event that any of the top three placers for Fargo, do not have their National Teams deposits (explained below) paid online by the national teams deposit deadline, any open spots on the national team will be open to the next highest placer in the weight class. In the event the Freestyle & Greco State Champions do not have their deposit paid online for the National Duals Teams by the deposit deadline their spot will be open for the coach to fill. Challenge Matches For those athletes that are wanting to go one weight for Fargo and another weight for the duals and also those that do want to participate in the duals but do not end up winning their weight at state you do have a chance to challenge for the dual spot at a different weight. Below are the criteria for challenge matches: ? All Challenge matches: Challenger has to win 2 in a row to win the spot. Wrestler getting challenged only has to win one. ? Winner of cadets can challenge winner of juniors at his weight or one weight up for that spot ? only one challenge. ? If Junior loses challenge to cadet they can challenge up a weight. ? 2nd or 3rd place cadets can challege up one or two weights in Cadet but not both and up in Juniors if 1st place does not challenge that same guy. ? 2nd or 3rd place schoolboy can challege up one or two weights in schoolboy but not both. ? In order to challenge you have to have your deposit money in hand fully committed to go. ? If a Cadet wants to wrestle Junior in Fargo they must wrestle Cadet at State to qualify for the Cadet Duals Team and can challenge up for the Junior Division if need be for Fargo. ? All State Champions from Schoolboy, Cadet, and Junior Division must check to see if they have a challenge match before they leave tournament on Friday and Saturday. ? All challenge matches must be requested before final match of the night is wrestled.
