Four Corners Wrestling AssociationWristband/Lanyard Rule
Starting with the 2008 wrestling season the following rule has been placed into our bylaws.
Division 1 and 2 parents may purchase wristbands the morning of the tournament for $10.00 per band per tournament. The two people in a corner rule will be in effect regardless of whether parents have a wristband or not. Division 3-5 parents will not be allowed to purchase wristbands.
Only coaches wearing a Four Corners Wrestling Association lanyard will be allowed on the floor through out the day. All coaches will be designated by their respective clubs and must have the lanyard to go mat side. Lanyards CAN NOT be handed off they must stay with the designated coaches for the duration of the tournament. The two people per corner rule will still be in effect at all times during the tournaments.
Parents, spectators, siblings, etc… MUST REMAIN IN THE STANDS AT ALL TIMES. Parents who buy wristbands for division 1 and 2 wrestlers can accompany their child to the mat to wrestle but must return to the stands as soon as the match is over. YOU CAN NOT REMAIN ON THE FLOOR FOR ANY REASON.
Coaches with lanyards will be mindful of the people in the stands so that they can see their wrestlers. Coaches not coaching need to stand against the wall or sit down so as not to obstruct the spectators view. “Coaches” will be limited to 2 coaches per club plus 1 extra coach per 10 wrestlers. Same rule as the 2006 wristbands.
Division 3, 4 and 5 wrestlers CAN NOT be on the floor unless they are wrestling. Once they have competed their match they must return to the stands. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of future matches.
Out of association coaches will receive 1 free “Guest Coach” lanyard which must be returned after the tournament. If additional lanyards are needed they can be purchased for $10.00 each using the 1 per 7 wrestler rule. If they have less than 7 wrestlers they can only have “1” lanyard.
Parents who chose not to comply with these rules will be awarded a yellow card and asked to leave the tournament.
- The mission of the Four Corners Wrestling Association is to improve & promote, develop, and direct all wrestling activities in the best interest of its member clubs that will contribute to well-rounded school programs that provide meaningful experiences for all participants.
- We feel that it has become necessary to limit the number of people on the floor and at the mats to ensure the safety and well being of our participants and workers.
