We have a new team starting up here in Ramsey, IN!!! North Harrison Cougars. We have been wanting and needing this program for a long time. We have an awesome coach and some very motivated kids on the team. Any guidance, assistance, volunteers, etc would be much appreciated. I was a team Mom for a very well established team in California so I don’t know all of Indiana rules, dates, events etc. Anything you can give me to take to our coach or anyway anyone can help out would be awesome!

Gonna be Indiana boys competing this weekend. Looks like ASU will be dare - hopefully he can win his spot.

Just starting looking the event over so I’m not sure who all is entered that has Indiana ties. Women’s Freestyle and Men’s Greco are competing today. Men’s Freestyle on Friday and Saturday. Women’s Freestyle finals on Friday. Hildebrandt and Miricle both made the Women’s finals for their weight-class. I believe I saw that Riley Lefever competing in Freestyle.

The ole dogs got some heavy hitters on dat staff. Gonna be Mitty interesting in da near future.

what are the names & weights of the wrestlers ?

Please feel free to reach out to me or have your coach contact me if you have any questions or issues that come up! Glad to see another team in the area! Randy Lynch Providence Wrestling

Hey Region Rat our boy Dewey is headed to Crown Point. The new Mater Dei dynasty of the region in da making.

What was cool about Graves was the only points he gave up the whole tournament was the last seven seconds of the finals.

In my experience, a 12 Team Dual tournament can be run one of two ways: Option A: Set up 3 pools of 4 teams each: (These teams were chosen purely out of familiarity with their districts and nothing should be read into) EXAMPLE: Pool A- Pike, North Central, Lawrence North, Lawrence Central Pool B- Ben Davis, Decatur Central, Perry Meridian, Southport Pool C- Warren Central, Franklin Central, New Palestine, Greenfield Central You then run 3 rounds, dueling all 3 other teams in your pool: (Round 1: Pike vs NC, LN vs LC. Rd 2: Pike vs LN, LC vs NC, Rd 3: Pike vs LC, NC vs LN) Keep track of records, use standard pool tiebreakers (most points scored, etc;) and place the teams 1-4 in each pool. Then, place each first place team into a pool of 3 and each second place team, etc; So If Pike, BD, and WC all won their pools, they would be in the same pool together (the championship pool): Then you have each team dual the other two teams. NOTE: In this plan, you get a true champion, but you have to have it last an extra round because of byes. You'd run 6 mats during rounds 1-3, but during rounds 4,5, and 6, you'd have 4 teams on bye, which seems like a waste of time, but it's the only way to ensure everybody wrestles 5 times and a true team champion is determined. Option B: Set up exactly what Trackgopher has done and instead of 3 pools of 4, do 4 pools of 3 (still have the bye problem) and then have 3 pools of 4 for placement. I believe this is what the IHSWCA Dual Championship tourney utilizes. Only 5 rounds. Still have four teams on byes for 2 of those rounds though and everybody gets only 4 duals instead of 5. You can obviously do two separate pools of 6 as you mentioned as well. In any of these options, there will be strong wrestlers on weaker teams that don't get to face the better wrestlers on better teams, there will just be less of that in the first two options. Good luck!
