Madison System - This is a popular tournament format where there are no weight classes and the tournament director pairs wrestlers into brackets (usually 8 or 16 man) based on
weight at weigh-ins. Wrestlers are placed in competition pools where everyone is within 10% weight and two years age of each other.
It is oriented towards receiving matches since it allows nearly everyone to compete regardless of the draw makeup. Our approach is to always provide matches for entrants, regardless of their size, age, or sex while at the same time encourage fun rather than weight loss problems
This system works well with the open division - as many of us old guys are not as worried about being on weight but just wanting to get some good matches.
Singlets are recommended but optional, you may also keep the beard.

Please note the staggered weigh-in times in the above flyer -ie Young guys will be weighing in early and get out early - then the HS guys have a later start.

was wondering I could come down and tape some matches. I put together a computer specifically for faster video editing/converting. Would like to test it. Just wanted to get a seal of approval.
