Reminder: School will still be in session until 4:05. There will be no area to park busses on the west side starting at 3:15 PM. I suggest to drop off on the Eastside of the building near the greenhouse and use the backside gym entrance behind the stadium bleachers. Or park in the back lot near the baseball field and you can enter the lower gym lobby door. Format: This year we will once again be using Trackwrestling to run our tournament online. We will not have a traditional seeding meeting. Each team will have a window on time to enter your athletes and their records. In an effort to provide all wrestlers an opportunity to wrestle the most matches we will use an 8, 12 or 16 man scramble format with wrestlers advancing on the second day to an 8 man championship or consolation bracket. Wrestlers will be seeded into pools based on the criteria we have set up in Trackwrestling. The athletes will wrestle all opponents in their pool.
