ISWA’s FS/GR Mat Official Director Mark Mundy was recognized as the first recipient of the
Tom Clark Memorial USAW Central Regional Outstanding Mat Official Award, created in honor
of Mark’s close friend Tom Clark, a longtime USA wrestling leader who passed away in 2017.
Clark’s outstanding USAW Mat Official career, refereeing FS/GR matches all over the world,
included officiating at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and serving as the USWOA Vice President.
Clark also stood out as an excellent folkstyle referee, officiating several IHSAA Individual
State Finals, and was one of Indiana’s state wrestling rules interpreters.
Ohio, the host state of the 2018 Central Regional Championships, created the award to pay
tribute to Clark, an Ohio native who attended Ohio State University.

“I know I must use the lessons I learned in wrestling to be successful in life. Wrestling has taught me to face
adversity head on and that anything in life worth accomplishing requires hard work, dedication, willpower
and faith.”
TY MILLS
Brownsburg High School
13-year ISWA Member
10X ISWA Champion
Triple Crown Winner
“Through the struggles of winning and losing in wrestling, I have learned valuable lessons that have
helped me achieve success in the classroom and on the mat. While struggling to keep pace in other
sports, I found the opportunities provided by the ISWA let me compete with others of my own size. I can
now use this knowledge and confidence to pursue my ambitions in life, and one day give back to this
great sport.”
TANNER DEMEIN
Penn High School

“Through wrestling and the ISWA, I have learned to use the abilities of leadership (as captain of my HS
team), mentoring (welcoming the new wrestlers into our wrestling room), and friendship (competing on
many wrestling teams outside of my HS team). I will take these traits and continue to apply them to all
aspects of my life.”

TOURNAMENT RULES, REGULATIONS
& STATE MODIFICATIONS FOR
CONDUCTING A SANCTIONED EVENT
RULES & REGULATIONS FOR ALL SANCTIONED EVENTS
1. Tournaments hosting an ISWA/USA Wrestling event must require all competitors to hold a current USA Wrestling
competitor’s membership card.
2. A USA Wrestling competitor’s card or proof of purchase must be presented when registering.
3. Pee-Wee, Bantam, Intermediate, Novice and Schoolboy wrestlers CANNOT move up an age division. Cadet age division
wrestlers who are in high school may move up to the Junior age division. Senior age division wrestlers CANNOT move
up to Veteran. However, persons qualified for the Veteran age division may wrestle in Senior age division.
4. Entry forms must include a participant’s waiver and release as well as a signed consent (by a parent or guardian if
they are under 18) for emergency medical treatment.
5. Out-of-state wrestlers may compete in ISWA open events and preliminary tournaments provided they are duly registered
with USA Wrestling. The ISWA State Finals Series is open to INDIANA RESIDENTS ONLY! Under no circumstances will
out-of-state wrestlers be allowed to participate in any ISWA State Final. In case of a protest, the wrestler must present proof
of full-time Indiana residency to be verified by the Tournament Committee. Indiana school enrollment will determine
residency if other verification is unavailable or not satisfactory. The wrestler will then have to produce a copy of their
report card or school ID to participate.
6. Weigh-ins for all age divisions will consist of one weigh-in and one immediate challenge. Wrestlers will not be allowed to leave
the weigh-in room. A wrestler may move up one weight class from the weight in which he/she is qualified to compete
at the time of weigh-in.
7. Mouthguard and headgear are required during competition at ISWA sanctioned events for wrestlers participating in
Pee-Wee through Schoolboy/girl age divisions. Non-compliance may result in elimination from the tournament.
8. Pee-Wee age division wrestlers will be governed by the same rules as Bantam through Schoolboy/girl. All modifications
imposed by USA Wrestling for Bantam through Schoolboy/girl age divisions will also apply to Pee-Wee age division wrestlers.
9. A wrestler must be allowed at least 15 minutes after a bout before he/she can compete again.
10. Athletes must weigh in wearing a competition legal uniform.
11. With the exception of the State Finals, weight classes may be split at the discretion of the local tournament host.
12. Certified Athletic Trainers will be on site to conduct skin checks during weigh-ins at all State Final Events. All decisions by
the trainers regarding participation will be final! (For information on Skin Checks, visit iswa.com and select Sports Medicine
under the Tournaments tab, where members can also find Physician’s Release for Wrestlers.)
13. All tournaments will be required to have the following: Tournament Director, Head Mat Official, Head Pairing Official, and a
Medical Trainer.
FOLKSTYLE-SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS BY NFHS
Rules will apply with the following modifications:
1. All corrections of errors must be settled with the official/head official at matside using the guidelines per NFHS Rules.
No judgment issue will be reviewed.
2. The ISWA recommends line bracketing be used at all Folkstyle events where there are 4 or more in a weight class.
Vertical pairing is recommended for 3 or less. Copies of bracket sheets, flow charts, etc. are available to print on the
ISWA website: iswa.com.
FREESTYLE OR GRECO-ROMAN-SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
As modified by USA Wrestling, the UWW rules in the “International Rule Book” are to be followed at Freestyle and
Greco-Roman events.
1. The Vertical Pairing System with positive points or Line Bracketing may be used at events.
2. Copies of wall charts, worksheets, flow charts, etc. are available to print at iswa.com.
3. The ISWA strongly suggests a Blind Draw be used at all local tournaments.
ISWA 2019 MEMBER GUIDE - 13 -2019 | ISWA POLICY REMINDERS
ISWA
Policy Reminders
IMPORTANT ISWA POLICIES TO NOTE FOR 2019
ISWA COACHING BAND: All coaches who wish to gain matside access during any ISWA State
Events must obtain an ISWA coaching band, which requires a printed USA Wrestling Leader
membership card, photo ID, and a Copper Level Certification (or higher). You can now upload
your photo and add it to your membership card.
COACHES CLINICS: Anyone who wants to attend a Copper or Bronze Coaches Clinic must hold
a current USA Wrestling Leader membership card. Purchasing this card requires SafeSport
Certification and a background check through NCSI, so please allow up to 2 weeks for processing
time prior to the clinic.
WEIGH-INS: All ISWA sanctioned tournaments are required to hold weigh-ins. Safety of the
athletes is of the utmost importance. To ensure each athlete will wrestle an athlete of like-size,
athletes must weigh in through one of many different ways: on site, satellite (off site), or faxed
weigh-ins. This integral aspect of wrestling is included in the rules set forth by the ISWA for all
sanctioned events.
FREESTYLE STATE FINALS QUALIFICATION: The ISWA requires all athletes wishing to
compete in the Indiana Freestyle State Finals to qualify for the event by competing in 2 local
Freestyle tournaments within Indiana. A wrestler must actively compete in the two tournaments;
simply registering for a tournament does not count toward qualification.
ATTENTION CADETS & JUNIORS: The ISWA amended its Freestyle State Qualification Policy for
the 2019 season to allow you to substitute just 1 of the 2 ISWA-sanctioned freestyle tournament
prerequisites with one of the following national tournaments: NHSCA High School Nationals,
USAW Folkstyle National Championships, FloNationals, NWCA/USA National Scholastic Duals,
Heartland USA National Duals (waiver for Cadets only), Dream Team Classic, and UWW Junior
National Championships. While the ISWA works to build support for member clubs hosting
much-needed Freestyle and Greco competitions, we’re adjusting this requirement in an effort to
support our most ambitious athletes as they seek higher levels of competition during this time
period when many national competitions are scheduled. (NOTE: The two-meet prerequisite is
only for Freestyle State, not Greco State.)
NEW ELEMENTARY DUAL CLASS: New for 2019, Elementary Dual Team Weight Classes are as
follows: 43, 49, 54, 59, 63, 68, 73, 78, 84, 90, 98, 105, 115, 130, HWT (up to 175)
