Nutmeg Folk Style Championship Wrestling Series
USAWCT has developed a Folk Style Championship tournament Series, which invites all USA wrestlers to participate in. Out of state wrestlers are welcome, however, they must pay tournament entry fee or USA card purchases by CASH and encouraged to come and compete in Folk style wrestling.
USAWCT wants to create more opportunities for our youth and High School and Open age groups to compete and would like to raise the level of the competition in our region. It is our goal to develop some of the toughest tournaments and identify by age division the most outstanding wrestler to compete in the series. Nutmeg Fall Championship Wrestling series are a group of tournaments in which wrestlers will wrestle folk style. Each wrestler will compete for prizes and a beautiful Pittsburgh Trophy Guillotine style for each age divisions as follows:
Elementary Division: Born 1999, 2000, 2001 & 2002
Middle School Division: Born 1995, 1996, 1997 & 1998

1st 8 1st 7 1st 5
2nd 5 2nd 4 2nd 3

For Championship bracket, wrestle backs get only 1 bonus point for pins, all round robin matches are considered Championship bracket.
SPORTMANSHIPS RULE: Matches in which one club/team member forfeits to another member from the same club/team, may not result in any bonus points, if the tournament director believes that the forfeit was not as a result of injury and is an attempt to manipulate the tournament results. In addition, if it is the belief of the tournament director or the head official that wrestler’s from the same club/team do not wrestle in a competitive manner, the results of that match will be excluded from the tournament results and treated as a voided match.

Club on line sign up for Nutmeg Wrestling Series Tournament
No score for this post

Dear Club directors:
I have created under club login sign up for each of the Nutmeg Series tournaments.
I was not going to do this because to many clubs would register their wrestlers, expect the sign up discount and then the wrestlers would not show up.
Several Clubs do the sign ups and pay for everyone that signed up, which is the proper way. I have over the past two years have not required one check per club sign up. My thoughts were to not put another administrative responsibility on club directors during the off season, however, as a result of the abuses, I have decided on the following:
Each club director can register their wrestlers from their club, however, if their wrestlers do not show up then the club becomes responsible for the payment of the no shows.
As long as the tournament director is notified by e-mail the night prior to an event (before 6:00 pm), the club will not be held responsible for the no show fees.
If the no show bill is not paid the following week, then the club sign up on line will be suspended until the bill is paid.
We hope that you will support our Nutmeg series and will sign up on line in a responsible manner.
