So am I understanding correctly...
No 12U Novice?

You are correct. no 12u novice. We will be using track wrestling and will have satellite weigh-ins again. NO Saturday weigh-ins. Other than that,...it's the same as the last several years.

The registration deadline is tonight, Monday December 6th 11:59pm.

Are the weigh-in times at the satellite locations the same as that in Ark City (6:30-8:00)?

Oh duh, never mind. Just saw the other thread specifically about weigh-in times. Sorry!

I wanted to let everyone know that we have imported all of the wrestlers into the "live" side of TrackWretling...We have began to combine brackets and add wrestlers. Once we have imported the wrestlers the "matrix" of wrestlers is not valid anymore...

We are trying to combine brackets to create the best competition while providing each wrestler with the most number of matches at the tournament.

If time permits we intend to offer the 8 man scramble format that we wrestled at Sprawl...which would allow each wrestler 5 matches each.

There are going to be some highly competitive brackets with 8 wrestlers that will go 5 matches each...

Thanks
Steven

I assume the novice brackets are in 4 or 5 man round robin's?

Yes. most are. I'll let Steven comment on the specifics, but we are trying to provide the most competitive matches, with the most mat time, within the time constraints. One of our goals is to start and finish on time.
