We look forward to having many of you with us for the 12th Annual Burlington Wrestling Tournament on Sunday, January 14th. We will have an Open and Novice Division within the tournament. We also get a great cross section of wrestlers with lots of State & National-level wrestlers and many novice and average wrestlers as well!! Here are some updates on the tournament:

[*] We will weigh-in on Saturday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. This is an hour longer than we originally posted on our flyer!!
[*] We will be offering a "Worship Service on the Mat" at 7:30 a.m. that Sunday morning featuring Burlington High School Baseball Coach and Fellowship of Christian Athletes Sponsor Charlie Whitworth and FCA President and BHS Wrestler Matt Vander Linden.
[*] We will Round Robin and Ability Group all Brackets both Open and Novice. Our goal is for each wrestler to get 3 and possibly 4 matches in one day!
[*] Every wrestler in the Novice Division leaves with a Medal!
[*] We offer a Fastest Pin Plaque in Each Age Group of the Open Division.
[*] We offer a Club Championship Competition for the Open Division Wrestlers with 3 team trophies. Each club can enter up to 2 wrestlers in each age division (6, 8, 10, 12 & 14) that score team points based on how they finish!! A club of 12 wrestlers can compete and win a trophy over a bigger club with 40 or more wrestlers!
[*] Our officials are ALL certified and top notch!! We have officials who have officated both Kids State and High School state tournaments and are quality officials!
[*] Our concession stand is one of best in the state with great breakfast and lunch menus!
[*] We hope to run 7 surfaces with a goal of being done between 2 and 3 p.m.
[*] We are truly glad that you are with us & try and make it a great wrestling experience for your kids!

Our flyer is online in a PDF format under the "Tournaments Calendar" link thanks to Mike Juby. If you have questions, please contact us at 620-364-2054 or at dougvanderlinden@hotmail.com.

Yes, weigh-ins will also be held on Sunday morning from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m! (Weigh-ins from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday night also!)

All wrestlers will get a 1-pound weight allowance because we know that many wrestlers will be wrestling on Saturday also.

Wrestlers will also need to weigh-in wearing their singlet. They should report to the weigh-in area with their singlet already on as the weigh-in area will be for both boy and girl wrestlers.

Good Question & Thanks for asking!

We tried that one year and it did NOT work out. That is why we are giving a 1-pound weight allowance to each weight class to accomodate those kids that are wrestling on Saturday and Sunday both.
