Clash Information:
The Clash Tournament is a team dual format tournament held over two days (Jan. 7th & 8th). The first day consists of a qualification tournament which will determine which round robin pool teams are self-sorted into for the championship round-robin brackets.
During the first day Qualification Tournament on Friday, teams will be seeded and placed into one of four standard 8-team brackets. Two of these brackets will compete in a morning session consisting of matches at 9 am, 11 am, and 1 pm. The other two brackets will compete at 4 pm, 6 pm, and 8 pm. The three matches will determine each team’s placing in the second day’s round-robin championship brackets.
During the second day Championship Tournament, each of the 4 teams that win their qualifying tournament will be placed together in a round-robin Division 1 group to determine positions 1 through 4 in the tournament. The four runner-up teams from the qualification tournament will be placed together in the Division 2 group to determine positions 5-8 and so on. Groups 5-8 will wrestling Saturday morning while brackets 1-4 will wrestle Saturday afternoon. Therefore, a team that wins its first match on Friday will wrestle Saturday afternoon.
There will be four teams in each of these eight second-day pools. The winner of each of these pools will receive a championship trophy. The second-place team in each of the pools will receive a runner-up trophy. There are no awards for the third and fourth place teams, even in the top pool.
