As a USA Wrestling–sanctioned tournament following official UWW rules, the event maintained international standards while providing a high-level platform for athletes of all ages.

The dual-format competition featured divisions spanning boys, girls, middle school, and even college-level wrestlers, making it one of the more diverse freestyle showcases of the spring season.

High-Level Teams in Attendance

Several well-known programs were represented at the event, including Flicker Boys, Scorpions, Triumph, and PA Power. Each team brought competitive lineups, contributing to a full day of intense, fast-paced freestyle action.
