2010 Regional Info There will be a seperate Girls division this year and they will have there own age and weight groups this year and wrestle at the regionals to qualify for the State Tournament.
All WIAA rules with the exception of time limit per period will be enforced. The mouth guard rule will be enforced with a penalty applied if a contestant has braces or any mouth apparatus and does not have a mouthguard. A one point penalty will be applied and injury time of one minute and thirty seconds will start, if a mouth guard is not secured in that period of time, the wrestler will be disqualified. This rule has been enforced by the WIAA for two years.
The starting position rule will be enforced also, in the par-tare position, the top wrestler must start with the hand to the navel first and then to the inside elbow second, a caution will be applied to the top wrestler, if three cautions are applied, there will be a point penalty awarded to the bottom wrestler.
Please note that these rules are specific to the WIAA handbook and will be enforced by the officials at the folkstyle regionals and folkstyle state tournament
Wrestlers must qualify at one of the eight regional tournaments held on Saturday March 13, 2010 to go to the Kids Folkstyle State Tournament. The top 2 place finishers from each age and weight group from each regional qualify. We again are going to call 3rd place finishers to fill in empty spots. A system is set up so we rotate through the regionals to see which 3rd place finishers gets asked. Please do not call us, we will call you if a spot is available and your name comes up through the system that is set up. If a 1st or 2nd place finisher can not make the State Tournament then the 3rd place finisher from that regional is the alternate and will be called. We will again be having registration and weigh-ins on Friday night from 6-7:30pm and also Saturday morning from 7-8am at each of the sites with wrestling starting at 9:30am for the Youngest 2 age groups and the oldest 2 age groups will start wrestling after they are finished some time around noon, please see registration form for info. USA Wrestling Cards are required and will be available at the door at each site but is easier to plan ahead and send in for one to Sandy Russell by March 1st or go on-line and buy one. See Membership Webpage for more info. Proof of Birth Year is required. Must show Birth Certificate or some form of government ID or be listed on the WWF Birthyear List. Wrestlers that register on site or pre-registered wrestlers that pick up weigh-in cards on Friday night must weigh-in Friday night. An accurate check scale will be available at all regional sites for wrestlers to check their weight if they want to before they register Friday night. There is no re-weighing in on Saturday Morning if they weighed in Friday Night. Whatever Regional site a wrestler registers and weigh-ins at is the site they must wrestle at, there will be no forwarding of registration and weigh-in information between sites. Maps to all the Regional sites are on this website, click Maps to Sites. Each of the 8 districts in the state pick a regional site each year. But a wrestler can wrestle in any regional, they do not have to stay in their region. WIAA Mat Rules will apply in the Folkstyle State Tournament and Regionals, except the time periods are one minute long and 30 minutes rest between matches. The weight classes shown below are the maximum they can weigh in that class. Wrestlers must make the weight that they qualified at, at the Regionals 2 weeks later at the State Tournament. There is no giving of weight at either Regionals or the State Tournament. If a wrestler can not hold the weight that they weigh-in at Regionals please have them go up a weight class at the Regional because they must make that weight 2 weeks later. In 2005 we had 3 kids that did not make weight and could not wrestle in the state tournament. Besides the wrestlers and parents no one felt worse than the WWF but everyone must make weight their weight that they qualifed for at the regional for the state tournament or we will have chaos, so please pay attention to the warning above.
