How to register wrestlers for events (skill division breakdown):

Coaches must have a current USA Leadership membership and be a part of the league to enter into Peak2Peak Wrestling League (P2P) regular season events. The King of Mt USA event is open to all, and the Colorado State championships is open to any Colorado resident wrestler

  • USA limited Folkstyle membership at $20 annually is a requirement for athletes, and covers all P2P events as well as the youth State Championships
  • If you need another Team-Parent, Coach, or Board Member set up to register athletes from your club, please log into your club admin and add “Permission” for that person
  • If your club is part of P2P then your coach or assigned statistician will need to register prior to the Friday deadline or prior to the maximum capacity entry limit.
  • Coaches, most weekends we have 2 events. Please make sure you are entering wrestlers into the correct event you intend to attend. Your team is responsible to pay for all entered wrestlers into a tournament after the Friday deadline. Make sure you register for the correct event.
  • As we have an honor system with weights and skill division, only coaches or club approved statisticians are allowed to enter wrestlers for our regular season events.
  • USA Membership for athlete and coach is required
  • Deadline is 10am Friday prior to the Saturday event
  • Clubs do not pay when registering wrestlers – Options to pay below
  • You can pay on Saturday with a club check, with cash, or prepay
  • To prepay log onto P2P website, click on Coach’s tab, then Team Payment to pay with credit card. This option will auto-calculate your total and put in a cart for easy checkout.
  • Head coaches determine the skill of the wrestler when entering them into the tournament and not a parent

Novice Division is for First year wrestlers only.

There is a slight exception for second year wrestlers who are well below the average for skill. If this is the case, the second-year wrestler should be losing during the event in the novice division.

Intermediate Skill Division is for Second- or Third-year wrestlers.

Flexibility for above average first year wrestlers is always extended, and allowed move up to Intermediate/Advanced, and second- or third-year wrestlers above average can also move up to Advanced Division.

Advanced Skill Division is for any wrestler up for the challenge, but all wrestlers within their 4th year or more must be in this division.

Also, all wrestlers competing in out of state regional/national competitions, Dan Gable Champions, past State placers are required to wrestle in the Advanced Division.

Can I move a wrestler around from skill division throughout the season? Yes, as long as it’s within the above stated criteria. There should never be a move for an Intermediate or Advanced wrestler to a lower division in order to “boost his/her confidence” as that would be done at the expense of other wrestlers. Skill division is at the coach’s discretion and not the parent’s choice.

Your club is responsible for paying for all wrestlers entered into an event, and left registered past the 10am Friday deadline.

  • Brackets are round-robin (regular season events – not including League Regionals/State), and no shows eliminate matches for the other wrestlers.
  • Statisticians have the ability to enter back into a tournament and adjust or remove a wrestler all the way up to 10am on Friday.
  • Best practice by clubs should be to collect all entry fees at your practice for wrestlers attending a Saturday event in order for the club to not incur the cost of a no show from one of your wrestlers.
  • As a best practice all teams should have a second set of eyes confirm registrations. Simply have that person log on to view the team prior to 10am on Friday, confirm all registrations look correct for weight, age, skill, and confirming all kids were registered.
  • It's after 10am and I realized I have an incorrect entry or forgot a wrestler, what can I do? Mistakes happen, but the bracketing process takes a lot of time, and at a certain point cannot be restarted for an entire age group. I recommend texting Zach or Jay North/South event and with a short message explaining the issue. You will be texted back within a few minutes if the error can be fixed, updated, or simply not an option. This is why a second set of eyes is highly recommended prior to the 10am deadline.

The above information covers our regular season events only.  USA Wrestling's King of the Mt, P2P League Regionals, and State (Regular State, Girls State, and Rookie Championships), all have a registration option that parents can register their wrestlers for themselves. There is also a required weigh in on the Friday prior to each of the afore mentioned events, and there are weigh in locations on the event website.
