  • justincredible
    It's been a few years since I last participated in one but I wouldn't mind getting some info on some and possibly competing this year.

    Any within an hour or so from Cincinnati?
  • SnakeNbake70
    Madison Plains has a open division. Its around a hour from cincy, maybe a lil longer.
  • cruiser_96
    Isn't rolling out of bed punishment enough for us!?
  • I Wear Pants
    I think you mean "any in the Canton-Akron-Youngstown area?" Because that's the real question.

    I will for sure be at Stebbins this week, the remainder of Spring/Summer tourneys will depend largely on our workload, and whether or not we will be required to work Saturdays. I try to make as many tournies as I can (just dunno when to call it quits). I never knew you wrestled Justin

    Started in 7th grade so I got a late start, but yeah, I wrestled.

    Tiny,

    Let me know if you find out you can go to Amelia next weekend. I haven't hit the mats in probably 5 years so I'd probably get my butt whipped but I am seriously thinking about entering.

    Stretch out real good Justin.....Its a real pain to try to heal muscles after they are moved a way they aren't used to. Anyway, central Ohio has some nice open tournaments too:):):):).

    Does St Charles still have their open tournament? I did it one year and really enjoyed it. Got a lot of matches in.
  • WGBplayer
    I believe Wooster is going to have an "old man" division. April 3rd.
  • OhioTofC
    Ohio TofC added an Open Division a couple of years ago. Since wrestlers will need an AAU card (and the adult cards are a bit more), the TofC has cut the entry fee for the Open Division to $40. TofC will be held on April 24 this year and you cna find more info at www.ohiotofc.com

    Justin I will be at Amelia this coming weekend too.

    I am really going to try my best to make it out on Saturday.

    I might have to run to Dicks to pickup some shoes. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find mine since I haven't laced them up in probably 5 years.

    I'm assuming I wont need a singlet? I know I don't have one laying around anymore. I don't have any headgear, either.

    Gee, the more I think about this the more I think it's a terrible idea. :)
  • I Wear Pants
    No it isn't and any of the open tournaments I've gone to haven't required singlets or headgear so...

    Justin, what size shoe? Singlets not mandatory usually but depending on how big you are I may have one you can use.
  • justincredible
    I wear a size 13 shoe. I'd be wrestling in the 197 class.

    Are you saying that it isn't a bad idea? I very much disagree. :)

    I took first over a buddy of mine. I pinned Monroe HS's coach in :29 then beat my buddy 4-2 for first. But I out weighed him by 30-35lbs.
