2026 WEIGH-IN & COMPETITION SCHEDULE


 

****Based on past numbers, the above are the estimated times for 2026. Once registration has shut off and mat assignments have been determined. The estimated start times will be posted by the Thursday prior to the event.

Due to the success of the "clustering" method that we started using in 2019, we will again be running it again this year. Instead of assigning a weight to a particular mat, a "cluster of weights" are assigned to a group of mats (side by side). Since 2019, this allowed for us to be able to get folks in and out quicker. In fact, most weights were completed in less than 3 hours.

We will run the four younger Age Groups (Bantam, Midget, Junior and Schoolboy), early, so that they will have an ample amount of rest time, prior to their Dual Meet wrestling which will begin at 5:00 or 5:30 pm, on Saturday. The Open, Veterans, Girls, Cadet and Elite Divisions Divisions may run concurrently with the Youth and Elementary Duals, but on separate mats.

Again, once final numbers are known, we will post that information here (Thursday before the event). 

OTHER

  • Weight classes will wrestle on a cluster of adjoining mats throughout the tournament. We will use high school style brackets and bout number system will be used. Bout number will appear on the matside scoreboards, allowing wrestlers, coaches, parents and spectators to monitor the progress of a wrestler's weight class.
  • Only wrestlers will be allowed in the wrestling area. We ask that Coaches please stay on the opposite side of the mats from the scoring tables.
  • You may change weight online, for FREE, prior to the registration/weight change deadline (the Wednesday before the vent at 11:59 pm EST). Changes done at the site will be assessed a $50 fee (Fee will be $25 for Open Division and the Girl’s Division will be Madison weights, so no fees would be assessed).  ***Note: Beginning in 2004, all wrestlers will weigh-in in wrestling uniform (singlet or t-shirt/shorts; shoes and headgear are optional). No weight allowance will be given.
  • For 2025, wrestlers do not have to qualify in order to participate in the Tournament of Champions. However, they must still pre-register.
  • There will be a skin check of all contestants at weigh-in. Bring current doctor's note if necessary. However, the tournament medical staff will have the final say in these matters. No refunds!

PAYMENT, LATE ENTRIES, WEIGHT CHANGES & WEIGH-IN CARD

  • You may pay by money order or cashier's check up until three weeks before the event date (April 6 in 2024). After that, unless previous arrangements have been made, only on-line payments will be accepted.
  • Late Entries: There may be an additional $10-$20 fee charged (to the first family entry only), for all entries that register during the late, or extended, deadline. Entries may be taken at the door, for a $100 fee.
  • There will be NO charge for weight changes, if done prior to the Late/Extended Registration deadline. After
  • All weight changes will be able to be done on the Flo Wrestling Registration site.

To change weight class before the deadline, enter back into registration the same you registered the first time and take the registration through to completion again and it will edit the weight without needing to pay.
 
All remaining weight changes will be done at the Tournament site, as brackets will be unavailable until then. Fee to change weight at the site will be: $50 ($25 for the Open and there is no charge for the Girl's Divisions, as they are being run Madison style.)
 
For those wrestlers competing in the Dual Meet Competition only, there will be an additional charge, in order to weigh-in. This fee covers all spectator admission fees.
 
If you pay this fee online, thru the TofC registration site, you can select Dual Meet Only and the fee would be $21, which also covers the processing fee. If you wait to pay it in person, you will need to register at the site and the fee would be $30.
 
If you sign up as a Free Agent Wrestler, pay your fee and DO NOT get selected to a team, your entry fee, less the $1 processing fee, will be refunded to you.
