YES
The annual Kentucky USAW FolkStyle Belt Series is open to contestants of all ages and from all states. The division belt winners will be determined by the outcome of the Three (3) tournaments that makeup the KY USA Wrestling Belt Series
There will be 9 divisions (Midget, Bantam, Intermediate, Novice, Schoolboy, Cadet, Junior, University, & Open). Wrestlers compete to win the division belt by accumulating the greatest number of possible points (45 pts) from the 3 tournaments in the Belt Series. Wrestlers must compete in all of the 3 tournaments to qualify for the Championship Belt.
Criteria If a tie in a division: 1. Most Pins, 2. Total Pin Times 3. Most Points.
Wrestlers score points by placing in the top 4 at each of the individual tournaments. The scoring system will be as follows:
1st place = 15 pts
2nd place = 12 pts
3rd place = 9 pts
4th place = 6 pts
(A contestant that has no opponents in their particular weight class will only accumulate 5 points) Participants will have the opportunity to wrestle up to get a match if there are no other opponents in your weight class if available.
Medals will be awarded to the top three finishers (1st, 2nd, 3rd) at each individual tournament. A high quality, “Championship Belt” will be presented to the “Top” finisher of each division at the conclusion of the “KY USA Wrestling Belt Series”.
Format: Double Elimination. If there is less then 5 entries in a particular weight class, a “Round Robin” format will be used.
$20 Entry Fee / Per Event
Entry Fee: $20.00 check made out to Host school
Admission: $5 - adults
$2 - 12 & under

Open License Application
USA Wrestling is now requiring all University, Senior and Veteran age divisions to purchase an “Open License” membership. The cost is $50.00. The entire $50.00 membership fee goes to the National office of USA Wrestling to off-set insurance costs. The price increase is due to the growing number of insurance claims, paid by USA’s insurer, for major injuries incurred by wrestlers in these age divisions. Note: The states will not receive any income from this new open license membership.
Please note the times for the KWOA Spring Classic (Times are different than from what Keith posted above):
Weigh-Ins:
Friday March 8 - 5:00-7:00 at Central Hardin
Saturday March 9
7:00-7:30 a.m.- Pee-wee-Schoolboy wrestlers
10:30-11:00 a.m.- Cadet-University wrestlers (Cadets-University can also weigh-in from 7:00-7:30 as well)
*SCHOOLBOY WRESTLERS MUST WEIGH-IN FROM 7:00-7:30 A.M. IF SCHOOLBOY WRESTLERS COME TO WEIGH-IN after 7:30, THEY WILL NOT WRESTLE (NO EXCEPTIONS!!!)
*REMOTE WEIGH-INS ARE BEING STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. CLUBS OR TEAMS WHO WOULD LIKE TO HOST A REMOTE WEIGH-IN NEED TO CONTACT GARRETT PIKUL ([email protected])
