Mayhem in Memphis 2014

[ghouse]

All,

 

We are happy to invite you down to Memphis, TN for our 7th annual Mayhem in Memphis tournament on Saturday November 8th.

 

Last year we had just shy of 300 wrestlers from the following states represented: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas.   Each year we have been lucky to see the number of high-level (national place winning) wrestlers continue to increase... we expect the same again this year.

 

We plan to continue our tradition of running a strong tournament that flows smoothly and offers competition for wrestlers of every level.  The brackets will be split into  beginner and advanced groups where numbers allow.  This allows your newer wrestlers to get quality mat time at the right level and your more experienced wrestlers to get mat time against other quality competition.  This tournament provides a great warm-up for the upper-level wrestlers headed to the Tulsa Kick-Off the next week.

 

All registration will be handled via TrackWrestling. Full details are in the flyer text included below.

 

Don't hesitate to call or write with any questions.

 

We look forward to seeing you on the mat soon.
