The tournaments will be held at the Bismarck Event Center in the main ARENA. Please enter through the main arena doors for tickets, coaches passes, and weigh-ins.

YOU MUST REGISTER ONLINE AT TRACKWRESTLING.COM by March 26th at 8pm. Individual Tournament, no double bracketing allowed. Registration: http://www.trackwrestling.com/registration/TW_Register.jsp?tournamentGroupId=263960132
Dual Tournaments: Dual Teams must be registered by the Team Head Coach. Please email: info@matpacwrestling.org, by March 16th with your intent to be in Group 1, Group 2, or Group 3.
Once we have your confirmation, we will email you your login information for Trackwrestling by March 24th so you can enter your lineup before the deadline of March 26th, at 8 pm. Teams MUST provide 2 table workers (table workers do not require copper certification but must be trained and experienced in scoring using a trackwrestling computer). All dual team members must be paid members of a N.D. Club & registered under the same team in the individual state tournament.
Coaches: To abide with state rules, no floor passes will be sold nor will the tournament be seeded in anyway. To gain access to the floor you must have a current USA copper Coaches Card AND be on the list provided by the head coach (see flyer for details). DO NOT wait until the last week to get a card as it takes over a week to get your background check back and Safe Sport certification takes hours to complete. Copper certification can be found at https://www.teamusa.org/usa-wrestling/coaches/ncep-certification
Awards: MATPAC will once again be providing the best awards in the state to reward these kids for their hard work. Trophies will be awarded for 1st – 6th place. 32" 3 column 1st place Trophies and Granite team Trophies!! We will also be providing awards to the top three teams with 30+ wrestlers and those with less than 30 wrestlers.
Please see the attached flyers as they are the official details.
Weigh ins!!
*Please note that you MUST BRING A USAW CARD WITH YOU WHEN WEIGHING IN and come early. This is to help with weigh in times and to get kids through the line faster. Many of the kids can't speak up, don't know their names, etc... so you must bring a USAW printed card to assist with this so coaches please make sure you parents know this!!
** THERE IS NO 3LB WEIGHT ALLOWANCE FOR JUNIORS (OR ANY GROUP) THIS YEAR
