2025 PAUSAW State Championships
Friday, May 16 through Sunday, May 18
C3 Sports Complex | 200 Ellis Place | State College, PA 16801
IMPORTANT NOTES - PLEASE READ
IN ORDER TO REGISTER, you must qualify for the state championships by placing TOP 4 at one of our qualifying tournaments
throughout the spring.
TOP 4 Wrestlers will place and will be awarded in each age/divison
ALL GRECO weights will be FLAT WEIGHT and you MUST weigh in for both styles if wrestling both styles.
ALL FREESTYLE WEIGHTS at the State Championships will be +2 from advertised weight classes
(example: 16U Girls 100, weigh in is 102).
RED AND BLUE SINGLETS ARE MANDATORY AT THE STATE TOURNAMENT
NO CHANGES at the state tournament, this causes the bulk of the delays in our start times.
Wrestlers missing weight will be removed from the tournament, no exceptions.
NOTE!!! - WEIGHT CLASSES WILL BE USED FOR 8U, 10U and 12U!!!!
If weights do not provide sufficient matches for athletes, PAUSAW reserves the right to use
"Madison-style" brackets based on a 10% weight differential.
Our first priority will be to group the same age group to get them matches.
Each wrestler will have the right to refuse the merger and movement but will not wrestle in the event and forfeit their entry fee.
In the event there are not enough competitors to make a 5 person bracket within a division,
mergers with other age or experience levels may be required to guarantee matches.
Tournament organizers will make merger decisions based on age, experience, and weight to ensure a competitive, fun, and safe environment.
Competitors will be notified if they are moved into a different bracket and have the right to refuse to compete.
