FORMAT - Why this is different from EVERY other youth team tournament:
This is a HIGH SCHOOL STYLE tournament....15 weight classes and each team fills the weight with their best wrestler, regardless of grade. They wrestle through a bracket until 1st through 6th place winners are determined and champions crowned. With advancement comes team points, and a team Champion and Runner-up trophy will be awarded. Pins count more than tech. falls, etc.
