How do I get my team into the IRONMAN tournaments?
The IRONMAN and Women of IRONMAN tournaments are invitational only. We do welcome emails from teams interested in consideration. Keep in mind this does not guarantee a spot in the tournament. If interested have a coach or AD send an email to the selection and seeding director with the wrestlers name, weight class and accomplishments. We do fill up late May/early June so we recommend sending right after state tournaments. The cost for individual wrestlers is $150. A full team is $750.
Since this is an in-season tournament we do not accept requests from parents. All wrestlers must be entered through their high school coach or AD.
When will the Ironman tournaments take place?
The IRONMAN and Women of IRONMAN tournament will always be held on the first weekend after the official start of Ohio's high school season. The 2025 tournament will be held the weekend of December 12th-14th.

Can my school bring more than one wrestler in the same weight class?
No. IRONMAN policy is only one wrestler per school for a weight class.
If my team is in the tournament one year does that mean we are automatically invited the next year?
Not necessarily. Every year each team/individual will be reevaluated and ranked by our selection directors.
