4. Eligibility sheets are required before the school's first league competition.
5. Wrestling Rules:

• Teach your wrestlers that if they have an opponent in a dangerous hold (such as an Olympic leg lift with the head in the wrong direction) to let go rather than score points and injure the other person.
• Each school may submit an unlimited number of wrestlers per weight class at the City Wrestling Championships. It is understood that although this change has been made, only two wrestlers per school will earn points towards the overall City Championship. But four wrestlers per school per weight class may go on to the Provincial Championships.
• All wrestlers participating in the city meet must be made eligible 24 hours prior to the meet.
• Weigh-in for the city meet: All competitors must report for the first weigh-in to be held between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM. on the first day, there will be a .2 kg weight allowance. The Commissioner or an appointed representative must be in attendance at the official weigh-in to verify all entries.
• Coaching is allowed in the corner but no criticism or questioning of the referee. Next stop in action, politely approach the referee.
• No exhibition match is to start after two hours from the time the dual meet started. (If the dual meet takes longer than two hours it should be completed).
• For the City Championship five (5) wrestlers or less in a category will constitute a Pool and six (6) or more in a category will constitute a Draw.
• Girls shall be allowed to wrestle in the RHSAA. All girls will compete in the appropriate weight classes against girls from other schools.
• The coaches from schools placing first and second in the city meets shall be the provincial coaches. Additional coaches will be assigned to supervise the Provincial Team.
• Any wrestler wearing braces on their teeth, must wear a mouth guard
• The high amplitude throw is no longer awarded 5 points; is now awarded 3 points.
• Athletes that fail to present themselves for a match, or for weigh – in, are disqualified from the entire competition and do not place. CAWA Rules – Article 31b
• A fifth (5th) place wrestler WILL NOT have the right to challenge the fourth (4th) place wrestler at the qualifying tournaments leading to the Provincial Tournament.

6. Intercollegiate Meets:

• All teams will compete in one league, with a boys and girls league.
• The league will begin in December.
•  

All league matches will start at 5:30 pm.

1. Weigh-ins will be conducted by each coach and will be forwarded as entries to the host school by 12:00 pm the day of the league match. For league dual meets there will be a 2 kg weight allowance.
2. All forfeits are recorded as five (5) points. If a team does not attend a meet the score will be recorded as the number of actual wrestlers times five (5) points per forfeit.

7. Although we may allow wrestlers from one school to wrestle with another school for dual matches, in the City Championship each wrestler must compete for his/her own school and a Staff Advisor from that school must be present during that event.
