Starting this Wrestling Season all wrestlers must compete in a Regional Tournament in order to gain participation in the State Tournament. Posted below are the Regions as outlined in the Spring 2008 meeting.
Bylaw 6.
Regions - Regional host sites shall be rotated amongst regional schools. Each region is responsible for establishing a schedule of host sites in a fair manner. Regional sites must be approved no less than (1) year ahead of time. REGIONAL PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED TO WRESTLE AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT(exceptions include bereavement, injury, or illness with doctor's excuse. An injured or ill wrestler will be required to WEIGHIN at the sametime as all other wrestlers at the designated regional host (satelite locations are allowed). Weigh-ins shall be performed within 24 hours before the scheduled start of the tournament. Weigh-ins shall be supervised by no less than (2) coaches from different teams. These weights will then be turned in to the Board and then forwarded to the State Tournament host where they will be used for bracketing purposes. NOTE: Region weights will be used for STATE.
We need teams to hold Regionals in all but the Louisville Region, being held by Fern Creek. Holding youth tournaments is an excellent way to promote your team, raise money for your program, learn how to run a tournament among friends, and help the kids in our state gain valuable experience.
