Registration
& Fees

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Wrestlers must pre-register for the Rocky Mountain Nationals event. Absolutely no registrations will be accepted at weigh-ins. Wrestlers are expected to make their pre-registered weight class. If you do not make your pre-registered weight class, you may pay a "second-chance" registration fee. You will be added to the bracket only if there is a 'Bye' or a 'No Show'. If we are unable to re-bracket you, your re-bracket penalty fee will be refunded. The Bracketing Director reserves the right to refuse re-bracketing changes if they are a hindrance to the tournament start times. We are giving wrestlers a "second-chance" to wrestle, and it is a benefit to those wrestlers who may have traveled and not made the pre-registered weight. RMN encourages all WRESTLERS to MAKE THE WEIGHT!
