If this event were to be sanctioned through WSWA, and the wrestlers go as individuals with USAW cards then it is NOT a WIAA event and does not count as an outing or match count. This was done a few years ago when the WSWA sponsored the Who's #1 dual of the two highest ranked wrestlers they could get. It ran for two years and was an awesome event.

When my son was a freshman (20 years ago) I took him to a couple of USAW tournaments in Oregon to get some good competition since his team didn't go to any tough tournaments his first 2 years of HS. I know it was okay because I read it in their manual and I also called the WIAA wrestling director to make sure it wouldn't come back to bite him in the butt. It didn't.

Just sharing some info that has been debated on the board for 25 years but was actually settled years before that. Hope that might help. There are lots of fully legal tricks in my bag. You just have to think outside the box.
