Tournament Formats
Boys' teams will compete in a dual meet sectional tournament based on their classification. Each Area champion and runner-up advance to the Sectional. Each Sectional champion will advance to the State Tournament in Cleveland on Friday, December 13. TrackWrestling will NOT be used for the Boys' Dual Meet Sectionals. Directors should email sectional results by December 7th to champs@tssaa.org.
Girls will compete in an individual sectional tournament. Each school in the section may enter one wrestler per weight class into the tournament. The deadline to enter wrestlers into the tournament is Wednesday, December 4. Schools within each section may decide whether or not to seed the tournament. Girls' wrestlers that finish 1st and 2nd in their sectional tournament shall advance to the State Tournament in Cleveland on Saturday, December 14. The two wrestlers competing in the finals match shall be the 1st and 2nd place finishers. "True 2nd" will not be an option. It is recommended that each section place up to 4 wrestlers. In the event that one section has fewer than 2 medalists, wrestlers who finish third or fourth from the corresponding sectional tournament will be used to fill the state tournament bracket in the place of a section’s vacant position(s). TrackWrestling will be used for the Girls' Wrestling Sectionals and advancement to the state tournament will take place automatically using that system.
Meet directors should review the full wrestling regulations and girls' wrestling regulations.
