Due to the unprecedented number of tournament cancellations, we are making the 2022 TOC an Open Tournament. Wrestlers do not need to qualify by participating in any TOC qualifier, nor do they need to have any specific varsity level wins throughout the 2021-22 season. The Total Number of Wrestlers Will be Capped at 500. Here are the updated qualifying conditions for the 2022 TOC:

1. Athletes must be in 6th, 7th or 8th grade, attend school in California north of the city of Tehachapi (Kern County) and north of the Cuesta grade/Santa Margarita (San Luis Obispo County) AND meet all of his/her schools eligibility requirements even if entering under with a club team and not the school team.

2. Athletes are limited to THREE total years of TOC competition regardless of grade in school.

3. Once qualified, a wrestler may enter in any weight class.

4. Athletes must enter as a member of a school or viable club team and are not allowed to enter unattached. An effort will be made to separate wrestlers from the same region or club/school, but this is not always possible. Seeding of wrestlers will be more challenging this year, but this is a primary factor used to determine placement on the bracket.

5. Wrestlers will enter the TOC on TRACK Wrestling (NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TOC 2022). Wrestlers may be entered beginning February 20, 2022. The entry deadline is midnight February 28, 2022.
