Seeding Because of the efficiency of Trackwrestling`s seeding algorithm, a seeding meeting will not be necessary. Seeding will be conducted in accordance with the following tournament rules and criteria: 1. Head coaches are directly responsible to ensure their team rosters and all seeding information is entered on-time and accurately! Wrestlers who have no seeding criteria entered will not be considered for seeding. Any disgruntled parents or competitors will be reminded of the policy and will be referred to the wrestler`s head coach. 2. Lineup Deadline: Tuesday, December 13th, 7:00 PM: Lineups and seeding information (grade in school, season win-loss record, big tournament finishes, returning post-season finishes, etc.) must be entered before this Tuesday night deadline. See below for seeding criteria. 3. Head-to-head Matchups Entry Deadline is Wednesday, December, 14th, 7:00 PM: Coaches will enter head-to-head matchups on Trackwrestling on Wednesday, December 14th before 7:00 PM. Only current season head-to-head wins and losses apply. Before entering a head-to-head win for a wrestler, make sure he has indeed beaten any opponents you indicate. Any coaches who indicate inaccurate head-to-head wins will be fined $50. If you aren`t certain, don`t enter it. A team who fails to pay the required fine will not be invited back to the Viewmont Invitational. 4. Seeding will be finalized by the program and by the tournament directors by Friday morning, December 18th before weigh ins .
