The purpose of the Redding Amateur Wrestling Club is:
The following are the regular season tournaments only.
Weigh-Ins: 7:00-8:15am
Clinic: 9:00am
Wrestling Begins: 9:15am
Entry Fee: $ 7.00 (first style), $4.00 (second style).
There is a one-time $2.00 fee for a NAWA weigh-in card.
NAWA Championships Fees: $10.00 (1st style), $5.00 (2nd style)
In order to offer better balanced competition, wrestlers will be pooled when there are fewer than four in a weight class. USWA guidelines will be used when pooling is necessary.
Certified officials will be paid a percentage of the entry fees.
California USA Wrestling has not posted the 2008 Age and weight classes, but I think it would be safe to assume that they're the same as last year.
