Officials will conduct the skin checks at the Silver Lake Open/Novice. Are they doctors, no but they will have the final say. Skin checks will be performed by team, 20 minutes prior to the start of competition 8:40am). If you aren't present at skin checks you will not wrestle unless passed by the tounament director and head offical before you step on the mat. We have a committee designated for skin checks and you will be scratched from the tourney without passing.
Our High School team wrestles on these mats, and our tournament is close to the High School Regional Tourney. We're not going to put them in any danger of skin born diseases. And we're also protecting the wrestlers that day from anything.
