Club Representatives (and unaffiliated members) must present a valid 2008 MO/USA WRESTLING Competitor's card for each wrestler before that wrestler can be entered into the tournament. This information must accompany the entries. A club can also submit the paid registration sheet returned by the business office showing the card numbers. No wrestler will be allowed to enter the tournament without this information, absolutely no exceptions!
Unaffiliated wrestlers must compete in the district and region in which the club they purchased their card with is assigned; or individuals not wrestling with a chartered club will be assigned a district by the state chairperson, even if they are practicing or competing with a MISSOURI USA WRESTLING chartered club in another district or region.
Accurate win/loss records must also be presented with the team entries for any wrestler to be seeded, records will not be allowed to be added during the seeding meeting. At least one coach, or club representative, must attend the seeding meeting in order for any wrestler to be seeded. If a representative is unable to attend the meeting, the wrestler will be drawn into the bracket. Exceptions will be left to the discretion of the District Representative, in consultation with the State Chairperson or Tournament Committee Chairperson.
Only changes in weight classes may be submitted after the entry deadline of March 1st, but only up to 7:00 p.m. on March 4th with a $12.00 late penalty fee. There will be no new entries allowed after the deadline of March 1st.

Mexico High School Sports Complex
Saturday, March 8th 7:30-8:00 a.m.

Scratch weight. Any wrestler who fails to make the weight at which they were entered will not be allowed to wrestle, absolutely no changes.
Wrestlers will be allowed to weigh-in one time only on Friday night. If a wrestler is over-weight on Friday, than they will be allowed to weigh-in one time only on Saturday morning. Scales will be opened one-half (1/2) hour prior to the weigh-in times on Friday and Saturday to allow wrestlers to check their weight; after the weigh-ins begin, there will be no checking of weight. Wrestlers must be allowed to use any of the certified scales being used for the competition weigh-ins.
Wrestlers who are over weight after their one time weigh-in on Saturday morning will not be allowed to wrestle. There will be no running, or other weight loss measures, allowed inside the wrestling facility.
All wrestlers will be required to weigh-in wearing only a singlet with the straps pulled down; females will be required to wear their singlet with a sports bra, or other suitable undergarment. Each wrestler will be visually checked and if a participant is suspected of having a communicable skin disease, or any other condition that may make participation inadvisable, the wrestler must provide written documentation (which must be on the form supplied by MISSOURI USA WRESTLING and obtained by the participants club), dated and signed by a physician, within 14 days of the tournament, stating that the suspected disease or condition is not communicable and that the athlete's participation would not be harmful to their opponent. They must also have attached a doctor's letterhead or a sheet from the doctor's prescription pad to the skin form. This document must be furnished at weigh-ins. Covering a communicable condition shall not be considered acceptable and does not make the wrestler eligible to participate. All suspected skin conditions must be covered at all times while the competitor is on the mat. Further, that in the event said skin condition is not covered, becomes uncovered or is not coverable, then the competitor may be required to forfeit, at the discretion of the tournament director or host official. If a wrestler shows up to wrestle without the condition covered, the wrestler will be put on one of their injury time-outs to correct the situation.

It is the responsibility of the local club to stay at the district site and determine if any of their 7th place finishers have an opportunity to advance. It is not the responsibility of the district tournament director or Mexico Kids Club to advance 7th place wrestlers.
