The Bill Farrell International Open will take place at the New York Athletic Club in New York City next Friday and Saturday, November 15 and 16. The Greco-Roman portion of the tournament will take place entirely on Friday.
The highest placer in each bracket will qualify for the Olympic Team Trials, which will take place in April at the Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State’s campus. If the highest placer has already qualified for the Olympic Team Trials, the next-highest placer will earn the qualification.
Normally, the Bill Farrell features all of the weight classes, but during the Olympic year it will only host the six Olympic weight classes per style.
While who is competing is still up in the air given that registration is still open, let’s take a look at the 2018 Bill Farrell finals matches.

60kg: Randon Miranda dec. Dalton Roberts, 6-5 (no match footage)
