How are they determining each age group for this? What year born would be 10 and under? If we are 10 and Under we would go!

I believe it is the age you are on the day of the tournament.

How does an individual join with a team...or do they have to? What are the weight classes?
Posted By: Michael Rockhold Sr. Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/06/06 12:05 AM
That is correct. Your age the day of the tournament. Put your actual weight on the entry form. We usually try to bracket the week before the tournament. Hopefully we will get more kids this year since it does not conflict with Fargo. And this year we should have AIR CONDITIONING. That will be a nice change.

We went last year and it was very well run. You don't have to be on a team, it is by individual entry. The AC will be nice because it was definitely hot in the main gym!

It always seems to fall during Fargo.

It was my understanding that Fargo was the weekend of the 23rd, which would be the weekend prior to SSG. Is this not correct? Maybe both of them changed, if so, that won't be any better for our numbers.
Posted By: Michael Rockhold Sr. Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/08/06 11:23 AM
According to the calendar Fargo is 23-30, but the website says it ends on the 29th. Maybe somebody will let us know.
Posted By: usawks1 Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/08/06 12:43 PM
I believe Fargo is done on Saturday the 29th. SSG might get a few entries from Fargo!
Posted By: CoachEd Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/08/06 12:45 PM
Competition will finish on the night of 7/29 and everyoe heads home on the morning of the 30th. It always spans both weekends.

Any girls wrestling? Girls wrestling girls?? Or will they be wrestling against the guys?
Posted By: Mark Stanley Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/10/06 12:47 PM
There is a female division. However from the flyer, "Male and female participants will wrestle together unless sufficient wrestlers for each is availble."

Why no Greco?
Posted By: usawks1 Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/14/06 06:29 PM
Traditionally, the SSG has not offered Greco. The numbers in Greco would make it very difficult to have many matches.
Posted By: Aaron Sweazy Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/14/06 09:22 PM
Maybe some school or club could just offer a Greco only tournament then and try to draw a few different states as well on a different week?
Posted By: usawks1 Re: Sunflower State Games - 05/15/06 08:10 PM
Sounds like a great idea for Chapman High School and Aaron Sweazy!
Posted By: jeffroberts Re: Sunflower State Games - 07/08/06 10:42 PM
Are there any wrestlers that plan to sign up as 10 and under 60?

40 and over 165?
