The takedown format I was thinking of using is this....3 periods consisting of 1 min...........we would go best out of five takedowns....so if a wrestler scored three takedowns in a match he would win the match. If the three takedowns happened in the first period the match would be over, wrestling would be terminated. Now there would still be a chance to get a fall but only if you took your opponent down from feet to back and placed him in danger of a fall...the ref would then let you try to secure that fall unless time ran out. Team scoring would be similar to a regular tournament. However, this is just an idea, if people wanted a regular tournament then that is what we would do. This is just a "feeler" thread for suggestions or teams that would be interested in coming to Dodge City for a tournament. I would like to get a tournament out here and would like to showcase some great wrestling from all states including Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. I would like for this thing to be a huge show....pitting big schools verses small schools. We have great facilities out here...and the hotel space to pull off something big like this. But of course we will have to start out small and build it up. I would like to at least start with a 16 team tournament. Like I said just ideas and looking for anybody interested.
