Acknowledgements

I have read, understand, and agree to abide by the NCWA Rules, Policies and Procedures. I understand that ignorance or lack of awareness of the NCWA’s rules and regulations is not an excuse for any rule violation.

I understand that no wrestler may practice, compete, or otherwise engage in any physical activity with my team unless they are

Cleared
by the NCWA on the official NCWA website.

I understand that a wrestler is not cleared by the NCWA until the official NCWA website reflects the clearance. A wrestler who has paid their fees, submitted a waiver, and completed online registration is not cleared for the season unless the NCWA has changed their status to a blue

Cleared
badge on the website. I understand that a wrestler will not be cleared for competition unless they have been in practice status for at least 10 days in accordance with the NCWA Rules, Policies and Procedures. This will be reflected with a
# days remaining
badge in the roster section.

I understand that my team’s uniforms must comply with the rules set forth in the NCWA’s Rules, Policies and Procedures. The NCWA’s logo must appear in the proper location on the singlet. Failure to comply with the rule may result in fines and penalties being assessed against my team. Failure to utilize an NCWA licensed vendor may be considered a trademark violation and prosecuted as such.

I have read and agree to the Rule 1.1, which reads in part as follows:

Any act of deceit or willful and calculated disregard of any portion of the NCWA Rules, Policies and Procedures and/or the NCWA or NCAA Code of Conduct may result in the suspension of any NCWA member school. Any act intended to circumvent any rule or evade penalty by the NCWA may be treated as though said rule violation occurred. The purpose and spirit of the underlying rules, policies, and procedures of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association may be applied with the same force and effect as the rules themselves. Member teams are advised to seek the advice and counsel of their respective conference executive boards and/or the NCWA Judicial Council should any questions of legality arise.

I understand that if I become aware of any threat of litigation or lawsuit by any spectator, wrestler, school, coach, or any other individual with regard to the activities of the NCWA, the NCWA, or any individual associated therewith, I must immediately notify the NCWA’s General Counsel and Executive Director.

I understand that the violations of any NCWA rules or regulations may result in my team and personnel’s liability insurance being voided.

I understand that NCWA member schools may host competition ONLY between wrestlers and teams that are eligible, registered and cleared members of the NCWA, NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA. All matches will count toward the NCWA records and National NCWA Points if the hosted event was officiated by an NCWA Registered Wrestling Official representing a recognized sanctioning Officials association.

I have read and understand Rule 4.1, which reads in part as follows:

The NCWA will comply with the published rules of competition as distributed by the NCAA. The current edition of the NCAA Wrestling Rules and Interpretations will be observed unless otherwise revised by the NCWA Executive Board, Legislative Committee, and / or the Judicial Council. No cameras are allowed in the coaches’ 8 ft Reserved Zone / corner. Photographers in the mat areas must have media credentials and must be dressed appropriately.

I understand that all coaches must be registered on the NCWA website prior to associating with, coaching, or otherwise participating with any NCWA team. I understand that coaches must be registered no later than the deadline for wrestler registration. After the wrestler registration deadline, the registration process for coaches shall end, and no coach may be registered thereafter.

I understand that by submitting this application, all information and documentation related to this application for and involvement with the NCWA and/or its member teams may be disclosed to NCWA personnel, team/club staff, club sports and/or athletic department administrators and representatives, and my host institution as the NCWA, in its sole discretion, deems necessary. As such, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the NCWA, its representatives, directors, volunteers, and assigns from any liability or suit at law arising therefrom.
