2013 Ohio Novice State Tournament

• Amy Mattin

  The Ohio Grapplers are excited to announce that the 2013 Ohio Novice State Tournament will be February 10th, 2013. The inaugural tournament last year was a great success.

  We are looking for satellite weigh in locations for the 2013 tournament. The weigh in would have to be held the week of the tournament. We would need all of the information by Friday morning. It is preferred that internet would be available during the weigh in. This way the form we use could be filled out online, however this is not a requirement.
  
  If you are interested please email Amy at [email protected] or call 419-330-9556. Thank you so much!

  Here is a list of the satellite weigh in locations for the 2013 Ohio Novice State that will be taking place on Sunday Feb 10 at Delta High School. We will be adding to the list as it gets closer to the tournament. These are also posted at www.novicestate.com. A big thank you to all the clubs and schools that have signed up so far!
  
  If your club is interested in hosting a weigh in please contact Amy at 419-330-9556 or email [email protected]
  
  We recognize that attending tournaments can get costly so we thought that allowing clubs to earn money by working a table would be a way to give back to those clubs that want the opportunity.
  
  Last year 3 clubs took advantage of the 100.00 offer. I would love to have 6-8 this year.
  
  I am also pleased to announce that this tournament will also count towards the OAC seeding points. This is right in line with our goals of trying to encourage wrestlers to stick with our sport and hopefully have some success along the way.
  
  We have also decided to keep team scores this year.
  
  A reminder that the registration and entry fee must be paid online at www.trackwrestling.com by Friday February 8 at 12pm. If you are interested in bringing a team of 10 or more wrestlers please email [email protected].
  
  Thanks so much!
