Beginning with this event, USA Wrestling will host a series of 12 qualifiers to determine the field for the 2008 USA Wrestling Grappling World Team Trials.
These USA Wrestling sanctioned qualifiers will identify the best Grapplers in the United States, and give them an opportunity to try out for the 2008 U.S. Grappling World Team, which will compete at the Grappling World Championships in Lucerne, Switzerland on December 20-21.
The series has been designed to increase the participation level from last year, and encourage the nation's best athletes to try out for the U.S. Team as well as provide less experienced grapplers an opportunity to compete.
"We expect the nation's best Grappling athletes to attend these events, for a chance to make the U.S. World Team. Anybody who has competed in Grappling, wrestling, Jiu-jitsu or other martial arts should attend these outstanding events," said Jason Townsend, USA Wrestling's Manager of Developing Wrestling Styles
In order to qualify for the 2008 U.S. Grappling World Team Trials, which is for Senior-Advanced level athletes, men must place in the top four in their weight class and women must place in the top three of their weight class. Returning 2007 U.S. World Team Trials champions automatically qualify for the 2008 U.S. World Team Trials.
The 2008 U.S. Grappling World Team, which is sponsored by No Limits MMA, looks to maintain their international dominance after last year's performance in Antalya, Turkey at the World Wrestling Games. The USA swept all nine gold medals at the World Championships in 2007.
FILA has announced that the Grappling World Championships will be held separately from other styles of wrestling, in a historic event set for Dec. 20-21 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
All athletes must have a USA Wrestling membership and be U.S. citizens to be eligible to compete in the Grappling World Team Trials Qualifying Series as well as the U.S. Grappling World Team Trials. You can purchase a USA Wrestling membership on www.themat.com.
