Rules? What about common sense? If you live in OK wrestle in that state tourny, if you live in KS wrestle in that state tourny. What is there to understand? If you let people from other states wrestle in your state tourny it is no longer a state tourny. Sorry if you have to drive a long way to get there. My son has wrestled in OK, TX, MO & UT but I have never once thought that he could or should wrestle in those state tournys. USAW card has nothing to do with it!
