Best Practices fr match set ups If yur club is the hst team, dwnlad & save the CVS file n Tuesday fr the teams yu are hsting and send it t the ther teams then make changes. When matching kids up it is k t have a variance f 5-6 punds depending n their weight. A gd general rule f thumb when matching kids up is n mre than 10% f a wrestlers bdy weight. On Thursday nights, clubs shuld nt argue 0 s ther than age & weight r middle schl wrestlers. Whatever middle schl wrestler s shw up the day f the match shuld wrestle their respective weight n matter what their skill level is. On Thursday night clubs shuld be lking fr dd things like a 130lb 8 year ld ect Dn t print the match ups ut ahead f time as there will be scratches the day f the meet. Make sure if yu are hsting that yur club invests in a printer (preferably ne that prints 8-12 pages per minute) t print match ups ut the day f the meet.
