Badgerland, Gopher State and Hawkeye Registration now Open

[MYASGUY]

Registration is now open for all 3 MWT tournaments.

Click here to view the tournament info and to register www.midwestwrestlingtour.org

There are two things I have noticed on these boards. 1. People like to see the matrix. The matrix is viewable since registration opened. 2. People like seeded brackets. We seed the brackets. We separate the top 4-8 wrestlers in each bracket. We have had a very high success rate. People love that we do it. Makes all the sense in the world.

If you can make it to any or all of these tournaments, you will not be let down.

Highlighting the MWT is the prized MWT Belt. The MWT Belt will be presented to those wrestlers who place first through sixth at EACH of the MWT events. The quality of the MWT Belt will be consistent with the custom medals that the wrestlers covet so much.

Is there a way the link to past year's results can get fixed? I would be interested to see how last's years brackets stacked up.

WATERLOO, Iowa—The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum will offer a special autograph signing with Dan Gable on Saturday, Dec. 6 from noon to 1:30 p.m at Young Arena. The signing will take place during Hawkeye Nationals held at the Young Arena in Waterloo, Iowa.

"This autograph signing is a great way to kick off the wrestling season," said Kyle Klingman, director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum. "We are always excited to have Dan back in his hometown."

Hawkeye Nationals will take place on Dec. 6-7.

Gable is arguably the greatest athlete and coach ever. In 1972 won a gold medal at the Munich Olympics without surrendering a point. As the head coach at the University of Iowa he led the Hawkeyes to 15 NCAA team titles in 21 years, compiling a 355-21-5 dual meet record.

Young Arena has been an excellent facility for wrestling competitions over the years. It has hosted the World Team Trials, the Division III NCAA tournament, international dual meets, and hundreds of youth competitions.

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum is located at 303 Jefferson St. in Waterloo, just two blocks from Young Arena. All are welcome to attend this special autograph signing.

For more information call (319) 233-0745 or e-mail dgmstaff@nwhof.org.
