Below are many of the changes for this year’s event which we are certain you will enjoy!

1. We have secured a larger and more user friendly arena in downtown Kansas City in the new Power & Light District which will afford us arena seating with better sight lines for all fans and parents. This will also allow us the ability to restrict the floor area with the proper security personnel so that only on deck participants and coaches will be on the floor during the event, thus increasing visibility for fans and parents to watch matches from the elevated seating area.

2. We have added an additional day to the event to ensure an earlier completion time each night.

3. Registration for this year’s event will be in a larger area and broken down into 2 different times and days. 1-8 graders will register and weigh-in on Thursday evening, and 9-12 graders will register and weigh-in Friday evening.

4. All Participants will be required to register and weigh-in in their completion singlet, to ensure a more professional and safe environment for everyone.

5. Registration and weigh-ins will occur simultaneously, thus we will only have 1 line and several areas for registration, cutting down on the wait time.

6. All medical waiver releases and insurance forms have been added to online registration for this year’s event, hence there will be no need to carry them to registration the day of the event, which should streamline registration.

7. There will be NO SEEDING for this year’s event, although our tournament software program will separate past Brute-adidas National place winners till later rounds.

8. Due to popular demand, we have added FREE additional Technique Clinics and Seminars for Parents, Coaches, athletes and fans. These events will take place on both Friday and Saturday from 1-5pm in the afternoon.

9. We have changed registration for 9-12 graders to Friday evening which will allow additional states the ability to attend and participate in this year’s event.

10. 2X - NCAA Champion and OUTSTANDING WRESTLING, BEN ASKREN of Missouri will be on hand for the FREE clinics and autograph sessions.

11. All participants will receive a free poster during registration for the autograph session.

12. We have downsized the number of weight classes for this year’s event which will ensure more wrestlers per weight class and streamline the awards presentation.

13. All Championship and All-American rounds for all Grade 1-12 will occur on Sunday and we have planned a bigger and better parade of All-Americans and video.

14. All Matches for each grade division will be pre-assigned to a mat so wrestlers will know where and when they will be competing.

In addition to all the above improvements, we will still offer the follow which makes the Brute-adidas Nationals a favorite for all:

1. Custom Brute-adidas Nationals singlet’s for all finalist in each weight in each grade division

2. Championship shirts for Coaches of finalist

3. Adidas watch for all champions

4. All-American certificates for the top 8 place finishers in each weight class in each grade.

5. FREE Athlete autograph sessions, seminars and clinics for all attendees by world class coaches and athletes.

Additional changes to be noted 1. Early registration for $45.00 for participants will be in effect prior to March 1st, 2008. After that date registration will be $65.00.2. The downtown KC Marriott is the tournament headquarters (across the street from Municipal Auditorium) and will have discounted rooms available in our block till March 1st, 2008, after this date regular room rates will apply if available. Please note that there is also a National Volleyball tournament the same weekend in the convention center, so hotels will be at a premium, please book your reservations early.3. Similar to last year, if you stay at one of our partner hotels, you will receive one (1) reduced rate coupon for a $20.00 adult all-session admission at hotel check-in. You will need to bring that coupon to the ticket window at Municipal auditorium to receive your discounted adult admission.4. Late Registration ($65.00) will be in effect from March 1st through March 28th at 11:59 pm. There will be no registration permitted after March 28th. We want to be sure to have enough time to have all matches and pairings assigned prior to the event.
