1st graders can participate in the Elementary Duals. The 8U State Champion will get the nod over the 6U State Champion. If the 6U State Champion wants to wrestle in 8U and see how he does, that is fine also.
Opening up the weights will not benefit much at the elementary level. 8U State Champions at 88 will not get the nod over the 12U 88 State Champion. There will be alot of State Champions at several of the weights. The older kids will get the nod 99% of the time. Just the way it is.
Question.....What does 'getting the nod' mean?
