Round Results

Note: This tournament used a modified format such that the losers in the championship semifinals wrestled for 3rd place, rather than dropping to the consolation bracket. The consolation bracket was wrestled for 5th place. This format allowed the tournament to be run in a double elimination format in one day without the possibility of any wrestler needing more than 5 matches to get to the end of any bracket.
