The 5th Annual Battle of Waterloo kicks off Friday the 5th at the Young Arena. 32 teams from around the state will compete in this two day dual tournament. 30 of the 32 teams will be returning this year with the addition of two top 1A teams in Lisbon and Clarion-Goldfield. They will be taking the place of OA-BCIG and Marshalltown . This years field features 14 3A teams, 12 2A teams, and 6 1A teams. 12 of last years 24 state dual qualifiers will be participating. You will have last years top three teams in 1A in Clarion-Goldfield, Don Bosco, and Alburnett as well as the 6th place finisher Woodbury Central. The top returning team from 2A in Assumption as well as 3rd place and 7th place finishers Independence and Clear Lake. It will also feature the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th place finishers from 3A in Waverly, Prairie, Iowa City West, Pleasant Valley, and Linn-Mar respectively.
Approximately 109 of IAWrestle.com’s ranked wrestlers will be competing. Waverly-Shell Rock took the 2013 BOW title followed by Pleasant Valley, Charles City, and Cresco. This dual tournament is formatted to give each team 6 matches over the course of Friday and Saturday. Teams are seeded 1-8 and placed into four 8 team brackets for competition Friday. Saturday the four bracket champions are placed together on down to the four 8th place finishing teams. It makes for some very evenly matched duals on Saturday as all teams should be in a pool with teams that have similar skill levels.
This format can get confusing for people new to the tournament so here is the simplest way to figure out when your team wrestles.
Brackets A&B will wrestle at 9AM, 11AM, and 1PM
Brackets C&D will wrestle at 4PM, 6PM, and 8PM
If teams lose their first meet on Friday they will wrestle at 9AM, 11AM, and 1PM Saturday
If teams win their first meet on Friday they will wrestle at 4PM, 6PM, and 8PM
