| 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.
