McDonogh Holiday Duals
Rules
1) Each team will fill in the preliminary online roster by Tuesday, December 27th at
2:00 pm.

2) Varsity weigh-in and skin check by teams will start at 12:30 pm on 12/29. There
will be a
2 lb. weight allowance from scratch weight.  108,115,122,128, etc. on
the first day of competition and a 3 lb. allowance on the second day.

3) Officials will be at the weigh-in to do a complete skin check.  Wrestlers with
treated or questionable skin conditions must have the NFHS Physicians release
form to participate.  Maryland Wrestling Officials will NOT accept any other notes.

4) All JV matches will be considered exhibition.  There will be no JV team score.  JV
coaches will bring a list of wrestlers and their weights to the assigned JV mats.  
Opposing coaches will match up wrestlers to get as many exhibition bouts as
possible between teams during each round.  Varsity wrestlers that do not wrestle
during a varsity round may wrestle exhibition bouts on the JV Mat.   No Wrestler
may compete in more than 5 bouts per day.

5) Awards - There will be a team trophy for the tournament champions.  A team
sportsmanship award will be selected by the referees.  There will be one
outstanding wrestler award chosen by opposing coaches.

6) Dual meet ties will be broken according to the rulebook criteria.

7) The team with the best record will be determined the winner.  If there is a tie for
records between two teams, the team with the head to head win will be determined
the winner.  If there is a tie between three teams, the team with the biggest
difference in “points for” versus “points against” within their pool wins and the
smallest difference finishes last.  If there is still a tie, we will go back to the rule book
criteria using all duals wrestle.  Example: team with most falls in all duals in the pool,
team with most the tech falls in all duals in the pool, etc.

8) Each team will be responsible for providing a scorekeeper for each dual that will
sit at the score table.

9) Teams arriving in vans and buses will be directed to drop off their wrestlers at
the curb of the RL Athletic Center, then park in the lower bus lot.
