The USA GIRLS Midwest Nationals Open Tournament is open to all female athletes from 8U through the Junior age divisions. Individuals will need to register separately from the Duals tournament.
Those registered for the duals ARE NOT automatically registered for the Open, but if they wrestle in the duals their weight carries over and they only have to
weigh-in once. But in the event of an injury you must let tournament director know to take you out of Open on day two.
