THE LISTS WILL INCLUDE GENDER, AGES AND WEIGHTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS. COACHES/PARENTS/ATHLETES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING THAT THEY ARE PLACED ON THE CORRECT LIST. NOON ON FRIDAY 10/23 IS THE DEADLINE FOR REPORTING ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS. CONTACT THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR WITH ANY CONCERNS.

NOTE: WE WILL NOT GUARANTEE PARTICIPATION FOR ANY ATHLETE THAT WEIGHS IN OVER THE 1 KILO ALLOWANCE.

1. IJF contest rules shall be used, including "Golden Score" overtime.

2. Players may compete in only 1 senior elite division.

EXCEPTION:
