The purpose and formation of this league is to get Southern Colorado
wrestlers mat time in an affordable and well run tournament format on
Saturdays in the Fall.  This league could and should be a strong, local,
Saturday opportunity for wrestlers in the Springs.  

HOSTING A TOURNAMENT:
 In order to advertise on PPWL a tournament
director/coach must request a date on a first come first serve basis.   The hosting
tournament director/coach must provide an email and or fax number to all coaches
via www.pikespeakwrestling.com no later than the Sunday prior to their
tournament.  

EMAILED ENTRANTS:  All entrants must be emailed or faxed by no later than 10
am on the Friday prior to the tournament.  Weigh-ins are conducted by your coach
prior to all tournaments (this is done to quicken the tournaments and alleviate all
chances of cutting weight, as weight classed are determined after all entrants are
entered).

CHECK IN: Check in at least 30 minutes prior to tournament start time.  
(Ideally a short clinic followed by a warm up period will cover this time)

INSURANCE: Must have a full USA Wrestling card and must present this at check
in. Each club will be responsible for getting their own cards online at www.themat.
