____________________________________________________________

1. Each state is allowed 4 wrestlers per weight class, not including athletes who are Auto-Qualified. 
2. If you are Auto Qualified you will still need to register but you are guaranteed a spot on the team, and it does not count towards our 4 person per weight class limit! 

How to Automatically Qualify for Nationals and NOT count against the 4 per weight class:

• Fargo All-American from 2024 in style
• Top 8 placement in 2025 at UWW in style
• Placing top 6 at Northern Plains in 2025 in style
• Placing top 6 at any USA Regional Tournament in 2025 in style
• Previous year, age-level World Team member
  • (must be in the same style)

If you are an Auto Qualifier you will be allowed to compete at whatever weight you desire for the particular style you qualified for.  

Wrestlers are stronly encouaged to participate in any of these tournaments to properly preare yourself for team wrestle-offs and Fargo competition.  

• MN/USA State FS/GR Tournament
• Northern Plains or any USA Regional Tournament
• UWW world team trials 

__________________________________________________________________

July Fargo camp is MANDATORY to compete in Fargo.  All wrestlers MUST attend!

Process if we have more than 4 girls registered in one weight class:

• If there are more than 4 girls in one weight class we will see if any of the girls would like to move weight classes or divisions.
  • June 24th - deadline for entering the weight you would like to wrestle if you are not auto qualified.   

• If we still have 4 girls interested in the same weight, we will inform them that they need to attend wrestle off to secure their spot!

  • June 28th – at St. Cloud State University

• In the event you do not secure a spot at your weight class: we will discuss options such as moving up a weight class if a spot is available or moving up a division.....

***All final decisions are to be made by the age group director and state director***
