The TOP City Summer Wrestling League will begin its fourth season of operation on Wednesday, June 4th. Action begins at 6 pm in the Seaman Middle School gym. Nearly ninety individuals have signed up in each of the previous years.

Additionally, Prior to the first night of competition, from 3:00 – 5:30 pm, TOP City Wrestling will host a clinic featuring 2X NCAA Champion Jesse Delgado from the University of Illinois. The clinic is free and open to the public.

Who: Wrestlers who will be in grades 8-12 during the 2014-15 school year.

What: An opportunity to compete against other northeast Kansas wrestlers in competitive matches. All matches will be three, 1½ minute periods. The league will be using a Madison bracketing system where athletes will be grouped in pools of five according to weight with no rigid weight classes. Each night the pools will compete in a round robin format tournament with the goal being four matches for each participant each night.

Weigh-ins will be held on the opening night from 4:30 – 5:30 pm to establish weights for league competition. Wrestlers may also weigh in on Tuesday, June 3 from 6:00 – 7:00 pm at Seaman High School or via a pre-approved satellite site on June 3rd. Satellite weigh in results can be emailed to Mark Stanley at mark.stanley.ks@gmail.com or Patrick Kelly at pkelly@usd345.com.

Teams scoring will also be incorporated with five individuals making up a team. Schools may enter multiple teams. Teams may have up to two alternates to fill in for nights when a regular member is absent. When the alternates are not scoring for their team they will wrestle unassigned. Individuals may also choose to be assigned to a team or wrestle unaffiliated. Dual meet team scoring will be used to accumulate team points (6 points for a fall, 5 points for a Technical Fall, 4 points for a Major, and 3 points for a Decision).

Team and individual awards – Plaques will be awarded to the ten-member All-League Team as well as to the Outstanding Wrestler and Most Falls Award winners. Medals will be presented to the members of the Team Champion.

When: Wednesday, June 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th 6:00 pm start time for each date. Awards will be presented at the conclusion of the June 18th night of competition. For the final night (June 25) we have invited a league based out of Burlington to travel up and compete against the Top City League. Details will be provided at our opening night of competition.
