Based upon the competitor pre-registration for the 2019 U.S. Grappling World Team Trials, USA Wrestling has decided to hold both the No-Gi and the Gi Grappling competition on one day, Saturday, June 22.
The event will be hosted at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The venue is the Bill Farrell Wrestling Center, which is located on the first floor of Sports Center II at U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC).
Previously, the No-Gi competition was scheduled for Saturday, with the Gi competition on Sunday.
The champion in each weight class qualifies to represent the United States at the 2019 Grappling World Championships. United World Wrestling has not yet announced the date and site of the 2019 Grappling Worlds, but it is expected to be held in the fall of 2019. The Grappling World Championships is a self-funded tour, covered by the participating athletes.
The competition is for Senior-level Grapplers, who are 20 and older (Born 1999 or before). The weight classes in UWW Grappling are:
Men: 62 kg, 66 kg, 71 kg, 77 kg, 84 kg, 92 kg, 100 kg, +100kg
Women: 53 kg, 58 kg, 64 kg, 71 kg, +71kg
Weigh-ins are set for 8:00 a.m. at the Bill Farrell Wrestling Center at the USOTC. Athletes who are competing in both No-Gi and Gi can weigh in once at that 8:00 a.m. weigh-in time. A second Gi-Grappling only weigh-in will be available at 12:00 noon at the Bill Farrell Wrestling Center.
Online registration will be conducted on the USA Wrestling membership system at www.usawmembership.com.

Onsite registration is available on Saturday morning at the Bill Farrell Wrestling Center at the USOTC, from 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Those registering onsite must pay with cash.
The entry fee is $100 per style. Please note that $15 from the entry fee in each style covers the required USOC daily usage fee at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. Participants must be USA Wrestling members or can purchase an event license, which is available for non-members for $5.
