I forgot to change the word two to three in the Freshman Division paragraph... there is a 3lb (not 2) weight allowance in the Freshman division as well.

 

3lb growth allowance in ALL divisions

Misprint .. Freshman get 3lbs also, 3lbs growth allowance for all divisions

How did this tournament do? I ask this because this originally was a Freshman Region Tournament Championship that got canceled because of weather. I hope it went well because the officials do a great job and are trying to raise money to give scholarships to wrestlers in the Middle Tennessee area.

Due to lack of participation they RE Cancelled, I hope next year they allow the then SOPHOMORES to have a Sophomore only Championship as well as a Freshman Championship.
