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!
