Important Tournament News / Changes for 2008: Due to the high numbers last year (1773 wrestlers) and crowd capacity issues, we did a lot of work to improve your wrestling experience by making key changes to the tournament. The 2008 War will have expanded wrestling hours, a new mat layout that will permit more seating and we will have split sessions on both Friday and Saturday. Bantams, Midgets and Juniors will wrestle in the morning and both Intermediate and High School wrestlers will wrestle in the afternoon each day. We have also made changes to the Tournament software to facilitate more streamlined automation and we will return to the "SAME MAT ALL TOURNAMENT" format that we heard loud and clear every body loved about our previous SJWA tournaments. Table top bout number boards will be used in addition to a large number of electronic bout boards in the competition area and the hallways! Mat Setup & Challenge Mat Details We will run the tournament on 15 active mats in each of the split sessions. That leaves not one but TWO MATS available as “Challenge Mats” where you can pick up as many additional matches as you want. ONE will be dedicated to Scholastic matches. The 2nd challenge mat will offer both SCHOLASTIC and FREESTYLE! Both mats are in the main gym so you don’t miss any of the action! Hotels:
Most of our forms can be downloaded and opened in either of two formats: Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat PDF. In order to read the Adobe Acrobat file, you will need to download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader:
