Freelance photographers or videographers are not considered media unless they have formal agreements with an established media company for event coverage.
Are freelance photographers allowed at the event?

However, freelance photographers may take photos for personal purposes if they obtain a pass through a participating team. Teams may allocate one of their personnel passes to a photographer at their discretion.

What are the restrictions for photography and media at the event?
- Only credentialed media personnel, as defined above, will have access to the competition floor.
- The podium area is open and available to all photographers.

Why is this policy in place?
This policy ensures a professional and organized environment for event coverage, minimizes disruption to participants and spectators, and prevents individuals from using the event for personal financial gain.
Are the photos from the event posted somewhere for the public to access?
Yes, photos from the event can be accessed through the Photos tab at the top of our website menu. This section provides two options:
- Free Photos – Available on our Facebook page.
- Edited Shots for Purchase – A link to purchase professionally edited photos from the event.
Please note that uploading photos to both locations may take some time after the event, so check back regularly for updates.
Additionally, the podium area is easily accessible to everyone—no credentials are necessary to take photos in this space.
Do bus drivers get into the event free?
Each team is provided with an allotment of free passes to distribute as they see fit. These passes can be used for additional coaches, managers, bus drivers, or other team personnel.
Please check with your coach to confirm if a pass has been designated for the bus driver.
How can I tell which matches are wrestled during each session of the tournament?
To help spectators keep track of the matches for each session, a colored bracket map is provided:
- It is included as the last page of the souvenir program, which is available for purchase at the event.
- The same map can be found on the second page of the schedule on our website.
This resource ensures you’ll know exactly which matches are taking place during each session.
Are there any restrictions for purses and backpacks in the arena seating?
Purses and bags, including backpacks, are allowed for spectators but are subject to search upon entry. Please note that food and drinks are prohibited and should not be brought into the arena seating.
