GETTING A SPONSOR WILL CUT OUR TOURNAMENT COSTS
Please see the attached sponsor form. Selling ads will cut our tournament
costs. Some ads are as low as $20 and some parents have taken out the ads to
congratulate their wrestler. Please let your sponsors know that we are a 501c(3) non-profit organization. Let
me know if you have any questions.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. There are still several parents that have not registered
to receive our text alerts. Please text the word D5WRESTLING to 84483. It is crucial that you register to receive
the alerts.
2. Parents of every wrestler must see Steve today so that you can sign your wrestling membership
card to be in compliance with SCYWA.
3. All wrestlers should have wrestling shoes by this point.
Please make sure to keep them clean and do not wear them outside of the wrestling room.
4. Today, we
will be learning the basics of scoring in wrestling. Here are the basics.
SCORING POSITIONS
* Neutral Position - Neither wrestler has control of the other. Usually standing. Wrestler
scores by getting a takedown. * Top Position - Wrestler has control of his opponent and has "taken
his back" or has gotten behind bottom wrestler. Wrestler gains top position by either takedown or reversal.
Once in Top position, Wrestler looks to earn back points or pin opponent. * Bottom Position - Wrestler
has been taken down and is under or in front of the top wrestler. Bottom Wrestler looks to score by escape or reversal.
SCORING
* Takedown (2 points): A wrestler is awarded two points for
a takedown when, from the neutral position, he gains control by taking the other wrestler down to the mat and getting his
back.
* Escape (1 point): Bottom wrestler is awarded one point for an escape when he gets
complete separation from Top wrestler.
* Reversal (2 points): Bottom wrestler is awarded two
points for a reversal when he comes from the bottom and takes opponents back without first getting an escape.
* Near fall: Near fall or "back points" are awarded when the bottom wrestler's shoulders
or scapulae, or the head, is touching the mat, and the other shoulder or scapula is held at an angle of 45 degrees or less
to the mat. (2 points): Two points are given when near fall criteria are
met for two to four seconds. (3 points): Three points are given when near
fall criteria are met for five seconds or more. After five seconds, the referee awards three points and stops counting.
1. At the start of practice every Thursday we will announce the tournaments available. 2.
Parents interested should fill out the tournament flier (available on the web). 3. pay for each entry ($13 per
weight class entered) and we will write it in the receipt book. 4. At the end of practice, wrestlers will line
up according to the receipt order. 5. We will weigh each wrestler and write the weight classes on the receipt. 6. We will then hand the parent the duplicate receipt so that you will know what weight classes your wrestler is
in.
Competing in tournaments will increase your wrestlers points and their rank in the club.
