Beach Wrestling

Just out of curiousity how many would attend a Beach Wrestling State Championship?  I am working with the ISWA on making this happen this year at Madison Indiana during our annual Madison Regatta on the river front on July 4th weekend.  I had a meeting with the regatta and they are on board.  I want to hear everyone in the high school community thoughts on this style of wrestling.

Don't they already have unofficial beach wrestling at the Regatta yearly?   

 Sounds interesting, but I would assume most people in Indiana would need to be educated on the rules of Beach Wrestling compared to the other styles.

this style of wrestling is very simple....

- On sand, inside a 20’ diameter circle; standing position - no ground wrestling

- 1 period, maximum of 3 minutes
- 2 points or Fall wins the match
- 1 point for Throw, Takedown or Push-out
- Can score Fall if opponent is thrown to both shoulders
- Ties: Last person that scores wins-or by dec of official
- No stoppages (except by referee or to get sand out of face)
- No timeouts, no injury time, no blood time…or wrestler will default match.
- Penalties: 1 warning (2nd offense - wrestler defaults the match)
           - No kicking, punching, or slapping
           - No butting heads, attacking the face, pulling hair, or throwing sand
           - No holds that lead to dislocation, head-only holds or holds/moves
             with the purpose to injure.
 
- (Flagrant penalties will result in elimination from tournament)
 
- Cover the body with a slippery substance (results in defaulting the match)

I have talked to the ISWA and we are bidding this tourney at the annual bid meeting for July 6th, 2013.

So get ready to rumble.  Remember you will need red or blue swimming trunks.
