10th Annual Mayhem in Memphis - November 11th, 2017 - Youth & MS Tournament

[ghouse]

All,

We are happy to invite you down to Memphis, TN for our 10th annual Mayhem in Memphis tournament on Saturday November 11th.

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.  The previous few years we were just shy of 300 wrestlers, but our numbers were down a bit last year.  The good news is that several clubs who couldn't attend last year are slated to be back this year and we are expecting our numbers to be back up to previous levels or above.  Regardless of numbers we still had great competition with 7 states represented last year: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee.  The team race was quite close as the Maritime Wrestling Academy in KY brought a very strong squad last year and has vowed to do so 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.

Bumping this up again as we are getting closer to registration deadlines and starting to see registrations get entered.

Looking to be a good field again based on clubs I am hearing from.  Those of you who aren't already locked into leagues where you can't compete outside come on down and join us.
