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!
