Custom medals for top 6 place winners plus special awards for champions. Triple Crown awards for all those that win all 3 styles (must have 5 kids in each bracket to win Triple Crown award) and Outstanding Wrestler awards for each division and style.

Bracketing

We may have situations where we create a bracket using actual weights in the event that a traditional bracket cannot be created.  In the event that multiple weight classes need to be combined, the Madison bracketing format will be used.

Weigh ins

  • See the schedule to find out weigh in times 

Tournament Entry

$45 per style entry fee - no onsite registration. We do not charge to change weights so sign up early as the tournament does have a cap. Registration deadline is Tuesday the 25th at noon.

 

For the Folkstyle portion of the event, you will register your wrestler based on the grade of school the wrestler was in for the 2024-2025 school year.

Officials

We will be selecting 22 officials for this event to officiate for the 3 days. We will have some of the best officials in the country!

RV Camping at Holt Arena

RV parking will be allowed but they have very limited electricity available so the majority of the campers will be limited to "dry camping".  The cost per day is $40. 

They don't take reservations so it will be on a first come first served basis. They will have an attendant on site when the campers arrive to check them in and help get them set up. There is no "tent camping" allowed on campus.

You may be able to double bracket up a division or weight class using same weigh in weight.  Double bracketing can only be done at the head table after weigh ins and after the schedule of sessions has been released.

Table Help

We are looking for table help each day. The pay is $100 per table and 2 people are required per table. If you are interested in running tables please reach out to Zach Colvin via email at zach.utahwrestling@gmail.com
