FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONTACT: Tournament Director: Martin Frye – coach.martin.frye@gmail.com Region 1 State Dual Team Info Each Region will field 2 dual teams (1 for Elementary and 1 for MS) which will compete on the Sunday after the State Tournament to help in aiding the selection process for the Team TN National Teams. ***Being on this team does not guarantee National Team selection*** Any wrestle-offs that need to occur will happen at Science Hill, on the evening of 2/21/15, AFTER the Regional tournament has concluded. We are hoping to start at 5:30 PM, but again will not start before Regionals has ended. ***Please read below for info regarding who qualifies for the dual team and who can challenge*** For the MS dual team: the MS Region Champions will get 1st dibs on claiming their spot for the MS dual team (the only challenges that can occur are as follows: a 6th grade Jr division Regional Champion can challenge the same weight MS Regional Champion (example: Jr. 100 Champion can challenge the MS 100 Champion) OR the Runner-Up from the next lower MS weight class, if they would like to bump up (example: 100 lb. MS Runner-Up can challenge the 105 lb. MS Champ) – if one of these would like to wrestle-off for the spot on the MS Dual Team they can challenge the MS Champion at that weight) – again, the only wrestlers that can wrestle-off for a spot will be Region Champions and Runner-Ups – since we are doing True 2nd, if you don’t place top 2, AND meet the criteria outlined above, you cannot wrestle-off for a dual team spot. MS weight classes: 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 220, 250 For the Elementary dual team: For weights 60 and above the highest placing 5th grade Jr. (Champion or possible RunnerUp to a 6th grader) will get 1st dibs on claiming their spot for the Elementary dual team… for weights 50 & 55 the Midget Regional Champions will get 1st dibs on claiming their spot for the Elementary dual team… for weights 40 & 45 the Bantam Regional Champions will get 1st dibs on claiming their spot for the Elementary dual team. For challenges the same criteria as above applies – the only challenges that can occur are as follows: a lower division Region Champion (example: Midget Champ can challenge a Jr champ) or the Runner-Up from the next lower weight class in the same division, if they would like to bump up (example: 60 lb. Jr Runner-Up can challenge the 65 lb. Jr Champ) – if one of these would like to wrestle-off for the spot on the Elementary Dual Team they can challenge the Jr. Champion at that weight) – again, the only wrestlers that can wrestle-off for a spot will be Region Champions and Runner-Ups – since we are doing True 2nd, if you don’t place top 2, AND meet the criteria outlined above, you cannot wrestle-off for a dual team spot. Elementary weight classes: 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 108, 116, 125, 135, 148, 190, 230 The cost is $50 and MUST be paid that evening to secure your spot on the team (this fee will include cost to cover referees, team shirt and shorts, team entry fees, etc.). If no one challenges the Regional Champ at that weight, they are welcome to pay their fee and leave Note: The goal here is to field the best MS and Elementary dual teams possible from our Region in as timely a fashion as possible – hence why we are limiting who can challenge for spots… Any missing weight classes that are not filled, and committed to by the end of Saturday evening with the $50 fee, will then be selected by the coaches to ensure we have full teams to compete.
