How do I let you know I want to be on a dual team or am planning on attending an individual team event?
Fill out the form above for each of the events you are interested in.
How are dual teams selected?
Our goal with dual teams is to field the absolute best team[s] we can. To support this we (myself, Coaches and Team Leaders) will be using the following criteria to help resolve any weights that have multiple wrestlers interested:
1) Recent Head-to-Head
2) National Placings
3) Regional Placings
4) State Placings
5) Past Dual team experience
6) Wrestle off among participants. Any challenger to an incumbent would wrestle best of 3 series at a location to be decided.
What is the cost?
My goal is to keep the cost low. I do not want ability to pay to be a primary driver of participating. The costs vary depending on the number of interested wrestlers, cost of team entry, cost of camps and gear. The cost of each team will be published with the schedule.
Do I need to sign myself up for each event?
Yes, with the exception of Fargo, you need to sign yourself up for each individual event you are going to. For dual events, the team leaders will register the teams. Please sign up as Team Kansas as your team. This allows the coaches to see who all they need to plan on coaching.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to Text/Email/Call.
