Subject: Important Updates for The Dan Nelson Folkstyle and IHSWCA MS State Qualifier
Dear Coaches, Wrestlers, and Families,
As we approach this weekend’s tournaments—The Dan Nelson Folkstyle Tournament and the IHSWCA Middle School State Qualifier—we want to share essential updates and provide clarification on a few logistical challenges.
Registration and Flyer Challenges
We are working diligently with the ISWA, USA Bracketing, and our local administration team at Carmel High School and the IHSWCA to address some registration and communication issues:
USA Bracketing does not currently have the capability to host or display our registration flyer, which has limited our ability to disseminate details directly through their platform.
Updating information on the ISWA website depends on their administrative team and is completed as their schedule allows.
Our tournament administrators at Carmel and the IHSWCA are doing everything possible to ensure accurate details reach participants through alternative channels.
We appreciate your patience as we navigate these challenges and remain committed to providing a high-quality experience for everyone involved.
Tournament Venues and Schedules
IHSWCA Middle School State Qualifier:
Location: Fieldhouse at Carmel High School.
We’ll run 6 full mats to ensure timely completion, with the ability to expand to 8 mats later if needed.
Dan Nelson Folkstyle Tournament:
Location: Upstairs gymnasium at Carmel High School.
By hosting this tournament upstairs, we aim to reduce crowding in the Fieldhouse.
Our goal is to move quickly, ensuring young wrestlers can complete their matches efficiently and head home in a timely manner.
Weigh-Ins
Saturday Night Early Weigh-Ins:
Location: Community Room in the South Building of the football stadium (located at Smokey Row/136th St., north of Carmel High School).
Sunday Morning Entry Information:
Primary Entry: Door 21.
Overflow Entry: If the Door 21 parking lot is full, please use Door 13, located at the northwest end of the building.
We understand the importance of clear and timely communication. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@carmelusawrestling.org with any questions or concerns. Your support and cooperation make these tournaments possible, and we look forward to seeing everyone this weekend.
Thank you for your understanding and commitment to Indiana wrestling!
