Fall Competition Information
This is AWC's 3rd year hosting the best club teams together from over 20 states. Every year we have teams coming from the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Mid-West and Southeast Regions to wrestle Pennsylvania’s finest.
Gladiator Duals will feature four divisions: Boys K–8, Boys H.S., Girls K–8, and Girls H.S.
The boys will compete in folkstyle, while the girls divisions will compete in freestyle.
Boys teams will weigh in on Friday and compete on Saturday, while Girls teams will weigh in on Saturday and compete on Sunday.
The tournament will utilize 20 mats and host up to 40 teams each day, which will be divided into four pools of five teams each. Teams will wrestle four dual meets within their pool, followed by a cross-bracket semifinal match. Each team will then advance to a final placement match, ensuring every team competes in a sixth and final dual meet to determine overall standings.
Consequi Excellentiam - Achieve Excellence
but more importantly, Enjoy the Journey
TOTAL MATCHES WILL BE DETERMINED BY NUMBER OF REGISTERED TEAMS PER DIVISION.
