Among the men’s championships, three are National Collegiate Championships, 13 are Division I championships, 12 are Division II championships and 13 are Division III championships. Among the women’s championships, four are National Collegiate Championships, 13 are Division I championships, 13 are Division II championships and 14 are Division III championships. The combined men’s and women’s championships are National Collegiate Championships. A championships handbook is produced for each NCAA championship and posted on the NCAA Online Web site (www.ncaa.org). How to Use This Publication. The handbook is divided into four sections: (1) General Administration; (2) Determination of Competing Institutions; (3) Instructions to Participants; and (4) General Championship Information. The first three sections pertain only to the respective sport, while the fourth deals with NCAA policies applicable to all 88 championships. [Note: Some policies listed in the general section have been revised by individual sports committees. The revision(s) will appear in the sport-specific section of the handbook.] Each topic included in the handbook is referenced to other applicable areas in the handbook or in the NCAA Manuals, where appropriate. For example, if you wish to know about regional advisory committees, the basic information for that particular sport would be included in an appendix. However, as referenced under the heading “Regional Advisory Committees,” more information concerning general NCAA policy governing regional advisory committees can be found later in the handbook and in the NCAA Manuals.

Qualifiers Centennial Conference Empire Wrestling Conference Great Lakes Independents (Regional) Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Metropolitan Wrestling Conference Middle Atlantic States Conference Midwest Independents (Regional) New England College Conference Wrestling Association Ohio Athletic Conference Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference TOTAL QUALIFIERS 10 19 21 33 15 12 12 12 10 16 160 Qualifying Procedures [Reference: Bylaws 31.01.2, 31.01.3 and 31.3 in the NCAA Division III Manual.] To be eligible to participate in the 2005 National Collegiate Division III Wrestling Championships, all participants must qualify through their respective automatic-qualifying conference or NCAA regional competition. The Division III Wrestling Committee, with the approval of the Division III Championships Committee, has granted automatic-qualification privileges to various allied conferences according to the procedures outlined in NCAA Bylaw 31.3.4. In addition, various regional tournaments have been established for qualification purposes. Regional tournaments may use true wrestle-backs to determine second place, fourth place and sixth place. With the exception of bye points and pairings, NCAA Wrestling Rules and Interpretations shall be followed. Qualifying Positions The Division III Wrestling Committee, subject to the approval of the Division III Championships Committee, will determine annually the total number of qualifying positions awarded to conferences and qualifying meets for the divisional wrestling championships. Some of the criteria that may be used in determining the positions are as follows: For 2005, the Championships Committee has allocated 160 positions for the championships. It usually is a Wrestling Committee policy not to increase or decrease the number of allocations per qualifying tournament by more than three from one 10 Wild Card Policy. The following wild card policy has been adopted for the 2005 Division III championships: The number of wild card positions is determined by subtracting the number of qualifiers in full flights (e.g., champions, second-place finishers, third-place finishers, etc.) from the total number of qualifiers allocated, and then adding 10. Wild card qualifiers are required to have placed at least within three positions of the automatic qualifiers, and all wrestlers who meet the criteria should be considered. For example, a qualifying tournament that is allocated 43 positions would qualify its champion, second-place finisher and third-place finisher from each weight class, plus 13 wild card qualifiers. The wild card qualifiers would be required to have finished in sixth place or higher in the qualifying tournament. 11 Championships Information year to the next. The following allocation formula has been approved by the Division III Championships Committee for the allocation of qualifiers for the Division III championships: (1) Performance in previous national championships the past three years – i.e., number of top eight finishers (75 percent); (2) Participation, i.e., the number of participants at the qualifying tournament the past three years (15 percent); and (3) Sponsorship, i.e., the number of teams with six or more participants at the qualifying tournament the past three years (10 percent). In addition, no qualifying tournament should have fewer than 10 qualifiers, and no one institution should be able to justify more than 10 qualifiers. If a qualifying tournament justifies 8.99 qualifiers or lower, then the qualifying tournament receives the minimum number of 10 qualifiers. If a qualifying tournament justifies between 9.0 and up to and including 11.0 qualifiers, then the qualifying tournament would receive 11 qualifiers. Following are the allocations for the 2005 championships: Late Entry If an institution fails to enter its individuals before the established deadline of February 1, a late-entry fine of $50 per individual, not to exceed $300 per institution, will be assessed. Late-entry fines are to be made payable to the NCAA and must be submitted to Randy L. Buhr at the NCAA. The funds received will be distributed to support scholarships. Certification of Eligibility/Availability [Reference: Certification of Eligibility/Availability in the Division III General Section and Constitution 3.2.4 and Bylaws 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 in the NCAA Division III Manual.] Only student-athletes eligible under Bylaws 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 may compete in NCAA championships. In accordance with Constitution 3.2.4, member institutions are required to certify the eligibility of their studentathletes before the beginning of each academic year and to withhold ineligible student-athletes from all intercollegiate competition. Member institutions are reminded to notify the NCAA national office before the selection date for each championship of any student-athlete who may have participated in regular-season competition but subsequently is determined to be ineligible or unavailable for NCAA championships competition. Automatic-Qualifying Conferences [Reference: Bylaws 31.3.4 and 31.3.5 in the NCAA Division III Manual.] For a listing of those conferences that receive automatic qualification, see the Qualifying Positions section in this handbook on pages 10 and 11.

It is recommended that qualified personnel, including a knowledgeable, experienced physician, examine the skin over the entire body and hair of the scalp and pubic area of all wrestlers before any participation. Please note that student-athletes are required to wear shorts and sports bras (females only) during the medical checks. Open wounds and infectious skin conditions that cannot be adequately protected should be considered cause for medical disqualification from practice or competition. The term “adequately protected” means that the wound or skin condition has been deemed as non-infectious and adequately medicated as per treatment criteria listed in the rules, and is able to be covered by a securely attached bandage made of nonpermeable material that will withstand the rigors of competition. Championships Information In addition to the above, one credential per institution will be available to the institution’s authorized athletic trainer and/or physician accompanying the team.

Housing Hotel reservations for the finals will be made by the host institution only for the referees and Division III Wrestling Committee representatives. Each participating institution in the championships will be required to secure their own housing arrangements.

Mat-Area Control In addition to the participating wrestler, three representatives per institution will be allowed in the corner of the mat; however, one of those persons must be the institution’s physician or authorized institutional athletic trainer. The description of and penalty for violation of this rule are listed in Rule 4-13-b-d (page WR-38) in 2005 NCAA Wrestling Rules and Interpretations. Medical Examinations Medical examinations must be conducted by knowledgeable physicians and/or certified athletic trainers. The presence of an experienced dermatologist is required.
