Eligibility, Registration and Qualifying
1) Any New Jersey (NJ resident, or any wrestler who goes to school in NJ and is released by his home state's USA Wrestling governing body, may participate in the New Jersey regional qualifier tournaments and state championship tournaments.

All wrestlers must have a current (2025 - 2026) USA Wrestling (USAW) membership in order to register and compete in any qualifier or the state tournament.
3)
Wrestlers may only compete in the one appropriate division for their age and gender.
Wrestlers attending high school may only compete in the HS Cadet division.
Furthermore, HS Cadet wrestlers must not have advanced beyond the NJSIAA district tournament for their school.
4)
Who advances to the State Championships: Males who placed in the top three of their weight class at a Qualifier. Females who registered &amp; weighed in ata Qualifier.
5)
A wrestler may enter as many regional tournaments as they wish. However, once a wrestler has qualified for the State Championship tournament, they cannot wrestle at any other regional tournament. Violation of this rule will result in automatic disqualification from the state championship tournament. (Exception: if a wrestler is injured in a regional tournament and is unable to compete in the medal round, that wrestler may be allowed to compete in a future regional tournament only with a note from a licensed medical professional within 72 hours of the injury. Approval of the USAW-NJ Kids Scholastic Chair is also required.)
6)
Each wrestler must designate their Club/Team/Town (only one may be selected) during registration for a regional qualifier. Club/Team/Town will be used to separate wrestlers during the first round of competition if possible. There will be no changing of Club/ Team/Town once the qualifier has begun. It is the responsibility of the parent and/or coach to ensure the correct Club/Team/Town is designated.
Weigh ins
7) Weigh-in dates and times for regional qualifier tournaments are published on the event flyer. Weigh-ins for the State Championships tournament are held on-site on the morning of each day's wrestling.
8)All wrestlers must present a copy of their valid USAW membership card at weigh-ins.
9)Wrestlers must weigh in wearing a uniform approved for competition: a one-piece competition singlet; or, a compression shirt with shorts approved for wrestling. There is no weight allowance.
10) Wrestlers may change weight class at the scale for the regional qualifier weigh-in
11)
Wrestlers may not change weight class after qualifying for the State Championship
tournament. There is no growth allowance or uniform allowance. Wrestlers, parents and coaches should consider this rule prior to choosing their regional-qualifier weight class. (Exception: if a wrestler is the only one to qualify in a weight class for the state championship tournament, the wrestler may move up one weight class with the permission of the USAW-NJ Scholastic Chair. See #24.)
12) The regional qualifier is a single-elimination tournament. Wrestlers who lose their semifinal matches will compete for third place. Only the top three wrestlers in the weight class advance to the state championship tournament.
Health and Safety Requirements
13)
Parents are responsible for examining their wrestlers for skin lesions to prevent the spread of communicable skin diseases. Wrestlers with lesions must have the approved skin lesion report (available at this link on USAWNJ.org) completed and signed by a licensed physician within 7 days of the competition, and must bring the form to the weigh-ins and the competition. No other form will be accepted.
Referees and tournament officials reserve the right to disqualify a wrestler who in their judgement does not have appropriate documentation of medical clearance.
14)
Wrestlers must compete wearing a rules-compliant uniform: either a one-piece competition singlet, or a compression shirt with shorts approved for wrestling.
15)
Headgear is mandatory for all wrestlers. Wrestlers with dental braces must wear protective mouthpieces.
Any special equipment (e.g., knee, elbow or shoulder
supports) must be inspected and approved by a tournament official prior to competing. Hair covers, if worn, must attach to the headgear. Fingernails must be properly trimmed.

Injuries and Forfeits

21) If a wrestler does not appear on the mat when called for a match, the following procedure applies: (a) The absent wrestler will lose the match by forfeit; and (b) If the next round has not yet started, the tournament manager and/or a USAW-NJ governing body representative will decide if the match may be re-wrestled, or if the forfeit will stand; however (c) If the next round has started, the forfeit will stand.

25)
If a wrestler is the only one to qualify in a weight class for the State Championships tournament, and the next higher weight class does not have 27 bracketed wrestlers, the wrestler may move up to the higher weight class with permission of the USAW-NJ Kids Scholastic Chair. If the wrestler is already in the highest weight class for the division, but the next higher division does not have 27 bracketed wrestlers in the appropriate weight class, then the wrestler may move to the correct weight class in the next division with permission of the USAW-NJ Kids Scholastic Chairman, if that bracket is not full.
