Novice & Middle School Qualifiers USAWCT Board of Directors has voted on November 16, 2006 and has adopted the following policy for the 2007 Kids State Championship qualifying tournaments for the Novice and Middle School divisions. All Connecticut resident wrestlers must weigh in and compete at their assigned State Championship qualifying location on February 17, 2008 and the Top Four Finishers for each weight class will advance to the USAWCT Kids State Championship, which is to be held at James Hill House High School at 480 Sherman Parkway, New Haven CT. 06511 on Sunday February 25, 2007. There will be no waiver or special consideration given to any Novice or Middle School division wrestler that is no able to compete in or does not finish in the top four places in their weight class at their Qualifying Tournament. If any of the top four place finishers of a location elects not to participate in the USAWCT Kids State Championship, then the other place finishers in that location will move up and the fifth placer of that location will have first choice to compete in the USAWCT Kids State Championship, if that wrestler elects not to participate in the USAWCT Kids State Championship then the sixth place finisher from that location can elect to participate in the State Championships. If a location has an open spot after all place finishers have moved up and the alternates from that location have declined to participate in the Kids State Championship (did not complete application and pay) the alternate 5th place finisher from other locations are eligible for a random draw into the Kids State Championships, if no 5th place finishers from another location does not apply, then the 6th place finishers may apply for the random Draw. The wrestler from another location must clear skin check and weigh in for the weight class in which they were considered an alternate at their location (placed 5th or 6th). Upon winning the Random Draw, the wrestler pays the entry fee and will assume the open spot in the Kids State Championship bracket. Approved by the BOD USAWCT, November 16, 2006
