1. Wrestling will be held July 25th at Tates Creek High School
2. Online registration is at bgsg.org
3. I'm looking for host sites for remote weigh ins
4. There will be a change is how divisions and weights are done this year, please read below. In the past we have had very few divisions and weights filled and always had to group to get matches for participates. So we are going to go ahead and cut out divisions and classes and use the Madison system. This is much like what the youth tournaments are set up as. This makes it easier to build brackets , determine medal winners, and gets more matches for participates. Hopefully this will be a positive for all involved.
Weight classes and divisions for wrestling at BGSG 2015 will be determined by using the Madison system. We will use a wrestlers weight, age, and experience to best group wrestlers of pools of 3-6 wrestlers. The pools will be drawn after the weigh ins are complete on Friday night. Wrestlers will be pooled within 2 years of age together and within 10% of weight.(this may be slightly altered depended on participation) Also The Commissioner will be taking into consideration the amount of experience to help try to evenly determine pools. This system is designed to get the best and most matches based off the participants at the event. Once pools are set, they will wrestle round robin to determine placement.
*during registration please include years of experience
Example of a pool-
1. John Smith - age 12 - 125lbs - 2yrs exp
2. Cael Sanderson- age 14 - 120 - 3yrs exp
3. Jordan Oliver- Age 13 - 128 - 2 yrs exp
4. David Taylor- Age 12 - 118 -3 yrs exp
• Age is within 2 yrs of all wrestlers
• weight is within 10%
• experience is reasonably close
