Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Kansas USA Wrestling 6U State Tournament

We have over 200 6U kids wrestling this weekend at St. James. I am expecting 500 wrestlers in Salina so please make your hotel reservations now!

Volunteers need to help with the Kansas Six and Under State in Salina on February 24.

I need table worker to run mat side trackwrestling for this event. I would like to run it in two different shifts. Shifts are from 8:45 to 1 pm and 1 pm to done. We are hoping to be done by 6 pm.

We will waive the admission fee and will feed you that day for your help.

Please email me at ksmsdt@cox.net or call me at 785-212-0605

THERE WILL BE NO WEIGHT ALLOWANCE. YOU MUST MAKE SCRATCH WEIGHT WITH YOUR SINGLET ON.

We will be checking nails and skin. If you need a doctor's release, please have it with you.

Question: "If my wrestler doesn't make weight, will you allow a change in weight class?"

Answer: "Absolutely!! We will not turn any wrestlers away unless they have a communicable skin disease! A wrestler will be put in the appropriate weight class upon weigh in, no penalty."

SIGN UP DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 22nd at midnight!

I usually only have a handful signed up with eight days left to sign up. I think we are going to hit the 500 mark. Should be a fun day!! There is the potential for some really big brackets. Last weekend we had a 6U weight class with 30 participants!

We will NOT be combining weight classes.

I had a couple questions:

1. Are you only letting the kids that wrestle on Saturday bummp a weight class or will everyone be able to do this?

2. Will they be wrestling on full mats?

1. ALL kids will wrestle. Whatever they weigh they will wrestle. In other words, if you signed up for 52 and you weight 55 you will wrestle 55. We will not be eliminating anyone for not making their registered weight.

2. We will have five full size mats. Depending on numbers we may use 1/2 mats but mat 1 will remain full regardless and ALL finals will be routed to mat 1.

We have set a goal of finishing the last wrestling match at 3:30pm to provide ample travel time for those returning home.

Many of you have been encountering issues with your USA Card numbers in trackwrestling. If you have sent me an email those issues will be resolved. If you haven't sent me an email please enter today as I believe we have a "fix" for the issue.

Is there anyway of weighing in home site for Saturdays tournament??

Thanks!!


Although I am an advocate of remote weigh-ins, I do not believe we have standardized this process enough to allow this as an option for a State tournament. All weigh ins will be conducted by the tournament staff.

How are the numbers looking for this weekend? Are you stating to get more entries?

There are 2,000 plus 6U card owners. I would like to get 500 of them to Salina this Sunday. It would be nice to see 1/2 of them watching high school state on Saturday.

How many if those 2000 cardholders are still attending practices. I would guess not Half of them made it 2 months into the season.
