WEIGH-INS: Wrestlers are required to weigh in with a singlet. Wrestlers receive a .2 tenth allowance for singlets at weigh-ins. If you have a current skin condition for which you have been medically cleared, please bring the doctor's note to weigh-ins. However, the weigh-in official has the final determination on whether a skin condition is noncontagious, thereby allowing the athlete to participate. While there are no hair restrictions, facial hair must not pose a hazard to other competitors. Please cut your fingernails to appropriate length prior to weigh-ins (you should not be able to feel the edge when you press in at the fingertip).

WEIGHT CHANGES: You can make corrections to your weight at weigh ins for no penalty.

WEIGHT ALLOWANCE: If granted, it will be on a tournament specific basis. See the tournament site for details.

WEIGHT INSURANCE: We no longer charge for weight $5.00 weight insurance.

In an effort to start all of our scheduled events on time, we encourage all wrestlers to make their pre-registered weight; by doing so, the event will start on time.

PROOF OF AGE: State-issued BIRTH CERTIFICATE or the most current REPORT CARD required in case of protest. Additionally, the 18-&-Under or high school division age group requires that you are a high school eligible wrestler. The fee to file an age group protest is $50; it will be refunded if the protest prevails.

BRACKETING

BRACKETS: Will be posted on the wall on the first day of scheduled events. Online brackets are updated as soon as results are entered.

RUF NATION Events does it’s best to prevent 2-man brackets; therefore, expect your wrestler to be combined in this circumstance. We also do not award trophies or medals to those wrestlers who are moved up or down to create a new weight bracket.

DOUBLE BRACKETING: Double Bracketing is allowed in same age group or an older age group. For Example: 8 & Under 54 lbs. & 58 lbs. or 8 & Under 54 & 10 & Under 53 lbs. If you double bracket, the 15-minute rest period does not apply; you have one match to rest after you report for your match in the second bracket.

COMBINED WEIGHTS: RUF NATION Events reserves the right to combine weights. If the wrestlers also want to combine weights, we will do our best to accommodate them. If weights are combined, RUF NATION Events does not give 1st Place award to a wrestler who was moved to next weight. Wrestlers must take 1st Place in their respective weight class in order to receive a 1st Place award.
