STANDING RULES
Entry Deadline for the Sub-District Tournaments is ten days prior to the tournament, so equal distribution of the District can be followed at the seeding meeting. Entries must be postmarked by this deadline date. NO EXCEPTIONS! NO REFUNDS! If a Club fails to pay they will not receive their packet and good standing status the following season until all entry fees and dues have been paid in full.
District-wide workers will staff the District Tournament. Funds will be split ½ to Host Club and ½ to District 1. Net funds returned to the District will be dispersed by District vote. A proposed budget outlining all expenditures will be presented at the general meeting for approval by the voting members.
District 1 coaches must be certified with a USAW Copper or Bronze certification before their second year of coaching.
The District will host a minimum of two coaches’ clinics per year.
A wrestler can be moved to a different bracket only one time and this change must be declared before noon.
Junior Varsity, Novice records, and “six and under” records are not allowed for seeding purposes in qualifying tournaments.
The ranking criteria to be utilized for sub-district seeding is as follows:
Kids prior year or High School Current year State Champion – 4 points.
Kids prior year or High School Current year State Placer – 3 points.
Kids prior year or High School Current year State Qualifier – 2 points.
Current Year High School Varsity wrestler – 1 point.
Points are NOT to be combined. A wrestler will be seeded based on a ranking of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 and their current season record as permitted by Rule 5. Wrestlers will be pre-seeded by Sub-District Directors utilizing this information. These seeds will be utilized to seed ½ of the number of wrestlers in the bracket. Only a change to the competitors in a bracket, head-to-head match up or a majority consensus of club directors can overturn the seeds established by the Sub-District Directors.
At the Sub-District Tournament, we will allow 5th & 6th place wrestlers from the opposing sub to fill in if needed. The District Director will oversee the substitutions on the day following the sub-district tournament during the bracketing process for districts. We will not wrestle the 5th place match at Districts unless we are aware that it is needed.
At the Sub-District and District Tournaments, the re-drawing of a bracket will occur, only if a competitor is allowed to “bye” into the finals without the benefit of a match or in the event there are only four competitors remaining mandating a round robin format.
District 1 qualifying tournaments mandate the following weigh-in times:
Sub- District & District Tournaments
Friday weigh-ins 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Saturday weigh-ins 6:30 am – 7:30 am
If split session format 11:30 am – 12:00 pm
District 1 qualifying tournament grievance committees:
Sub-District Tournament
Tournament Director
Sub-District Director
Tournament’s Head Official
District Tournament
Tournament Director
Both Sub-District Directors
District Director
Tournament’s Head Official
These Standing Rules can be revised by a simple majority of clubs during any official District meeting.
