Team Tn (challenge cup)

[BamaGrappler]

That is correct. It is a 'go'.

 

It will be similar to the format of the FCI Challenge Cup --- but is now called the Dixie Duals. Last I heard, effort would be made to stick to the FCI weights and age divisions. If I hear otherwise, I'll post here. I know there was an issue regarding weight classes as most kids were expecting to wrestle in the traditional FCI weights. Thought was given to switching to USA weights. However, I know this was a problem for our Team Alabama Qualifier tournament a couple of years ago as there are weights that exist in USA that do not exist in FCI and vice versa.

 

For now.....

What: Dixie Duals Wrestling Tournament

Where: Vestavia Hills High School (Vestavia Hills-Birmingham, AL)

When: Friday-Saturday, March 24-25, 2006

Ages/Weights: same as those traditionally used at the FCI Challenge Cup

Commitments: Alabama (all age groups), Georgia (all age groups), Tennessee (all age groups), South Carolina (currently only MS & HS, but they're working on all ages)

 

Contacts have been made to Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia but none of those 3 have confirmed as of yet.
