How to Fundraise

Weigh - Ins

Individual Weigh Ins:

Dual Meet Weigh Ins:

Honor Weigh-Ins

You will weigh in your own athletes. We expect each athlete makes weight in front of their own coaches. This is on your honor.

On Sunday coaches can challenge an athletes weight by putting up $20. If the athlete is within 7 lbs of their weight class the $20 is given to BTSNE. If the athlete is over 7 lbs the weight class is forfeited. All challenges must happen prior to 12:00 PM.

7 lbs is a 3 lbs allowance over the weight class plus an expected dinner and breakfast.

 

Example:

125 lbs wrestler can weigh 132 lbs on Sunday

Family Fun Zone

Tournaments are exciting environments for everyone involved… except maybe the sibling who was dragged there to watch.

So BTSNE builds a Family Fun Zone for kids to enjoy. This was a huge hit at our lst tournament. There is a $10/child fee and they will receive a wrist band for entry. Parents must be with their child for entry. Everything in the family zone once inside is free.

Family Zone Includes:

Fun Attractions, Fun Snacks and Games!
