NCAA Champ qualifies in freestyle or greco

Last chance qualifier in March will add two more, three if no NCAA tournament.

If last chance or NCAA doesn't happen, then the field is set.

Seeding will take into account matches from the 2019 US Open until the trials.

Not that it will matter, but I read it as the NCAA champ will qualify for freestyle AND greco, not freestyle OR greco. Unless Lee decides to go for a double stop sign?

Have they announced if the postponed OTT will take place at the BJC?

Not sure if they announced specifically but at the USAW Summit two weeks ago they labeled zoom rooms. Atlanta, Vegas, Fargo, etc as in places where significant events have or will happen.

One was the BJC and they told us it was because of upcoming WTT.

Yes, it is at BJC April 9-11, 2021.

If you click on Iron Chef's link in the original post and then click on one of the links on the USAW website for qualifying procedures you will get a pdf that goes into great detail about both the old and new procedures, including dates and locations.

I think that's right. I just assumed nobody would try to compete in both trials. Of course, Forrest Molinari somehow wrestled two weight classes in 2016.

Yes, it is at BJC April 9-11, 2021.

Yes of course they will be good, whether they let us in or not is the question.
