The Covid guidelines are attached. There will be zero tolerance with wearing a mask. We cannot risk the tournament being shut down due to people not wearing a mask. There will be signs posted and an announcement made at the beginning of the tournament. That will serve as a warning to everyone. Anyone not wearing a mask will be removed from the tournament for the weekend. If they don’t want to wear a mask then they need to stay home. Not trying to be a hard ass. I just know this is the difference in having the tournament or risking cancellation. Not only for Battle in the Burgh but all future tournaments. Please help us with your wrestlers and parents.
