ATHLETIC TRAINERS

TEAMS
Each school will receive coaches’ wristbands based on the number of qualifiers: 1-3 = 2 wristbands; 4-7 = 3 wristbands; 8 or more = 4 wristbands. Coaches will be admitted only by their wristbands, which will be in their packets. The wristband will allow entrance into the coliseum and onto the arena floor. Wristbands must be secured to the wrist before entrance into the Coliseum. Coaches will wear the same wristband for 2-3 days. Loose or damaged wristbands will not be accepted for admittance into the designated areas.
Coaches without a wristband will be admitted using their NCCA membership card or must pay to enter. NOTE: Coaches’ families cannot enter using the NCCA membership card.
Non-qualifying team members will be admitted for $5.00 PER PERSON/PER DAY. The coach (WITH A COACH’S WRISTBAND) must accompany the group to the ticket window, and they must accompany the team through the gate. Non-qualifying wrestlers will enter through the general admission doors, NOT the wrestler’s entrance. They will not be permitted in the practice/weigh-in or competition floor areas. ABUSE of this procedure will jeopardize the continuation of the $5.00 special allowance.
Participating wrestlers not advancing to the third day of competition will not be given a wristband/stamp or permitted down to the practice/weigh-in area or the competition floor area.
One student team manager will be admitted free if he/she arrives with the team.

Each school that qualifies a wrestler(s) to the state tournament will receive ONE parking pass that must be displayed on any vehicle (including activity bus) transporting participant(s). Your Regional Tournament Director will make the parking passes available after determining the tournament’s conclusion and qualifiers. All marked buses should display the NCHSAA-provided parking pass for FREE parking admission. Any bus or vehicle WITHOUT the parking pass will be charged for parking. Vehicles can leave and return if the parking ticket stub is kept.
All Activity Buses should enter through the regular entrance gates off Patterson Street or Ellington Street.
Vehicles can leave and return if the parking ticket stub is kept. Please help inform your fans/parents so they will know in advance. One parking pass will be given to each head coach who has a qualifying wrestler at the conclusion of the Regional Tournament. That pass must be displayed on the windshield of any vehicle transporting wrestlers, regardless of whether it is a personal vehicle or a school-identified vehicle: bus, van, etc.
Regular registration will be in the lobby of Greensboro Coliseum on Thursday (2A/3A/4A/Women) and Friday morning (1A). The coliseum doors will open for qualified wrestlers and their coaches at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday and 7:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Coaches will pick up their registration packet, including participant badges (used for entry for wrestlers) for all qualifiers. Wrestlers will be seated by weight class before being sent to the weigh-in area. Each qualifier must have their participant badge before entering the coliseum and weigh-in area. Wrestlers will use the back stairwell at Section 110 to access the weigh-in area.
Competition Day Details
Round sheets will be available online only. Each head coach will receive an initial set of brackets in their packet.
Thursday – [2A at 11:30 a.m.], [3A at 1:30 p.m.], [4A at 3:30 p.m.], [Women at 5:30 p.m.]

All schools must be present at the start of weigh-ins.
ALL bags, including wrestlers’ bags, are subject to being searched upon entering the coliseum. Therefore, wrestlers should leave bags on the bus or in the lobby to expedite the weigh-in process. After the completion of weigh-ins, wrestlers will have time to get their bags and allow security to search them before re-entering the coliseum.
Weigh-ins begin with 106/100 lbs. and conclude with a heavyweight. Competitors who miss the weigh-in for their weight will be considered late and allowed to weigh in after the heavy weights and only be allowed to step on the scale once. Coaches should contact Joe McCormick (336) 354-2827 if they know their team will arrive after weigh-ins begin. After weigh-ins are closed, no contestants will be permitted to weigh in. There is no access to restrooms in the weigh-in area, so make sure your athletes use the restroom before reporting to the weigh-in area to line up.
Each qualifier must have their participant badge in hand, get into the weigh-in area, and have it with them as they step on the scales. Access to the weigh-in area is the stairwell behind Section 110. Qualifiers will receive a hand stamp in the weigh-in area. This hand stamp allows access to the competition floor and practice/weigh-in areas. If this stamp is rubbed, sweated off, or washed off, the wrestler must see the security personnel at the Stairwell at Section 110 or tournament officials in the Lobby to be re-stamped.
To expedite the weigh-in process:
1. Please bring with you the appropriate medical documentation (the form is on the NCHSAA website) regarding communicable skin disorders and,
2. Ensure the wrestler has shaved, cut hair and nails, and stripped down to the appropriate weigh-in attire before getting to the scales.
Weigh-ins will be conducted by weight class, not by teams.
Only tournament workers, coaches, media, and stamped wrestlers will be allowed on the arena floor. Hand stamps and the Coaches’ session wristband will be checked to gain access to floor.
During the competitions, qualified wrestlers and their coaches may use the stairwell behind Section 110 to gain access to the competition floor area and the practice/weigh-in area.
NCHSAA registered officials will escort wrestlers and their coaches on and off the floor at the appropriate times. Wrestlers and coaches in ALL classifications will ENTER the arena floor through the entrance at the Northeast (beside section 113) end of the arena. They will EXIT through the entrance on the Southeast end of the arena (beside section 105). Once exiting the arena floor, coaches and wrestlers will be asked to move to the upper level using the back stairwell behind Section 115. Your cooperation is required to help keep the hallway area clear for those coaches and wrestlers reporting for upcoming/on-deck matches.
We will use ten (10) mats throughout the tournament. Then in the finals, only 5 mats will be used.
The 1st place championship matches will be wrestled in the evening session on Saturday, beginning at approximately 4:00 p.m., following the Parade of Champions.
Only those wrestling in the championship finals will be included in the Parade of Champions and are asked to remain in warm-ups for the parade. Wrestlers who are inappropriately dressed or whose behavior is not that of a “champion” will be subject to removal from the parade. Please emphasize appropriate behavior/actions expected during the parade.
The top four finishers in each weight class will receive medals, and the 5th and 6th place wrestlers will be recognized on the podium. Coaches of state champions are invited to help present the awards to all wrestlers in their champion’s weight class and classification.
In an effort to eliminate the number of uncredentialed individuals on the floor during the award ceremony, we have instituted a new policy for the team award presentation. The head coach and captains from the 1st and 2nd place teams in each classification will be invited down to the floor to accept their awards on behalf of their teams. Once they receive their award, the teams are invited to take pictures in front of the backdrops placed adjacent to the back stairwell on the concourse in section 115.
Concessions will be available for purchase at the Coliseum. Athletes can bring food and drink in their bags for personal consumption, not for teammates or family members.
Wrestlers must furnish their own towels and are responsible for their valuables throughout the tournament. Shower access will be available in the athletes’ locker rooms.
Cooler Policy – Greensboro Coliseum does not allow coolers/food containers inside! We need your help in notifying your fans/parents that they will not be allowed to take coolers/food containers/food into the coliseum.
