2024 State Games of America
Qualifying Event

Competition Format

Folkstyle tournament only.

Modified high school rules will be used. Wrestlers must still wear headgear. For safety reasons, a mouth piece must be worn if wrestlers have braces.

Overtime is 1 minute. If still tied, it’s 30 seconds for 8th grade and under. For high school level, overtime is 1-30-30 and then the last 30 seconds if needed.

If there is a lack of wrestlers in one weight class or age group, the pairings committee will confer with parents to determine the best way to get all wrestlers matches. 

Age Determining Date

Grade divisions: age based off the 2022-23 school year (age as of September 15, 2022).

Age divisions: age based off the date of competition (July 15, 2023)

Medals sponsored by Grinnell Mutual

Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded in each division.
