Coach John Klock Classic Duals

 

Date: January 16, 2016

Location: Elizabethton High School

                  907 Jason Witten Way

                  Elizabethton TN 37643     

 

Entry Fee: $150.00 per team

Please make checks to Elizabethton High School Athletics

Do Not Mail Checks!!!  Bring all checks to weigh-ins

 

Format: Teams will be divided into 4 pools and wrestle 4-5 duals each. My goal is to have 16 teams with 4 mats so that we can finish no later than 6PM. If we have 16 teams the top teams from each pool will come out and face off to determine 1^st through 4^th place. The 2^nd place finishers will come out and face off to determine 5^th through 8^th place. The third and fourth place teams will also do likewise to determine 9^th through 16^th places. This will guarantee everyone five matches in one day.

 

Background Information: This will be the second annual John Klock Classic Duals. Last year we had 6 teams (on just 2 mats) and everyone got five matches in a day and wrestling finished by 3PM. West Henderson High School from North Carolina won the event last year. My goal this year is to expand the tournament while still being able to keep it a relatively short day by wrestling standards. My hope is to try to promote this as “The Battle of the Blue Ridge Mountains†by getting teams from North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. If this happens I plan to divide the pools up in such a way that most teams will get at least 2 out of state matches in the day. I believe this can be an awesome day of wrestling for everyone and this year to try to ensure teams are getting matches I’m going to ask that teams that enter the tournament have a minimum of 8 wrestlers on their squads to keep things competitive. If you are interested in being a part of this special event that honors the Coach that started wrestling in Elizabethton please let me know so that I can begin putting together a tentative roster for this event.
