clive2246 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Those are some great ideas as far as an IndianaMat.com tournament/invite. It is definitely something we would like to look into in the future. Can I be in charge of the food?? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" : Yes only people with class would be allowed to enter, so you would not be invited:) All joking aside, I do not think the IHSAA would allow this to happen during the competition season since they'd consider this an all-star meet. Wrestlers are allowed to compete unattached during the competition season with a waiver from the IHSAA (requires a signature from coach, AD or principal) but the HS team must not have a match on the date of competition.

Y2CJ41 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I agree, I'm not sure how teams do the Ironman with only partial teams. It would definitely be easier to do spring tournament or all-star meet of sorts. Personally, I think it would be neat to have Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois' top wrestlers go at it in a dual format. Or something more on a local level is have the area conference's best kids go at it in a dual. Of course the latter would probably require some IHSAA permissions if it included underclassmen.

Drooke Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Those were my thoughts as well after giving this topic some thought this evening. Make it a midwest event. Especially since the ihsaa has such severe travel restrictions concerning out of state tournaments. Invite or allow a petioning process for teams or individuals to wrestle at the IndianaMat.com event. This is an potential event that could really create alot of interest not to mention greatly benefit Indiana wrestling as a whole. If you would like to go forth with this at some point Y2, I would definately like to be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md85 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Mater Dei Holiday classic. The Holliday classic has loast some of its better competition in recent years. At one time they had the team state champions from Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama at this tourney. It is sometimes hard to get teams to travel a long distance to get their butt whooped. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCatWrestler2008 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Al Smith...by far, to me it is the toughest tournament in Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
