What do I do when my division is called? When your division is called, you will bring your index card for that division to the ring and give it to the ring keepers, who sit at the score table ringside. The ring keepers will take a card from each competitor in the division and check that the weight and skill level are correct. The competitors will then be separated by size and school. Byes can and will be given to the best competitors as required to end up with a single winner.
When the draw is completed, the first two fighters will be called onto the mat, whereupon they will shake hands and the referee will start the match. At the end of the contest, the referee will raise the winner’s hand (decided either by tap out or referee’s decision). When you win, make sure the ring keeper properly enters your name into the draw. The winning competitor will take a seat and wait to be called back to fight again. This process continues until there is a single winner – the Division Champion! As we place 3rd place, you may be asked to fight again, even if you lost your prior match, so be prepared - mentally and physically! |
