Tournament of Champions - Registration
Qualified wrestlers still have time to register for this year's TofC, scheduled for April 26, at the Columbus Convention Center. The tournament is expected to draw 2500+ wrestlers, representing 30+ states. Besides placing top three in a TofC qualifier, wrestlers may qualify by winning a non TofC qualifier, or by winning a certain number of matches during the current wrestling season.
All high school district and state qualifiers are qualified, as are all OAC junior high and elementary state qualifiers.
