This is not a USA sanctioned event. Catawba Rasslin has been a sanctioned USA wrestling club for over 32 years. St. Stephens High School has hosted NC USA freestyle tournaments for 38 years. In recognition of this long standing relationship, the Honey Badge is announcing a special offer to current USA card holding members.  If you have a current card for the 2024-2025 USA season "Full Athlete", the Honey Badger will honor those cards with a $5.00 rebate at weigh in for all three divisions.
You must follow the instructions listed below.

Here are the guidelines that must be followed for the rebate process: Click here for a pdf of these instructions.

1. You must first have a current USA card before you start this registration process. The term “current USA card number” means a USA Card "Full Athlete" for the 2025-2026 Season. Your card must have a large “2026” indicated as a watermark on your card. Go to www.themat.com to purchase your new, renewed, or upgrade from "Limited" card for this season.
2. The person entering the registration information must enter the “current USA card number” in the provided field for the USA Card Number. Be positive that the number you entered is an exact match to the card. You will pay the full price for the on-line registration of your selected division.
3. If you don’t enter your current USA card number in the “USA Wrestling ID#” field during the registration process, (your responsibility), the Honey Badger will not honor the rebate commitment.  Rebate cash will not be available.
4. If you don’t show the Weigh Master a “current USA card” with a number that matches the registered group code number for your entry, the Honey Badger will not honor the commitment.
5. If you don’t show the Weigh Master your “current USA card” there will not be a rebate. Saying “I lost it” or “My coach has it” will not qualify for the rebate, the Honey Badger will not honor the rebate commitment.
6. If a coach enters his wrestler (s) and pays for each one of them, he needs to be present as the wrestler's weigh in to get his $5.00 money back or get it himself from his wrestler (s).  The Honey Badger will not be held accountable for how the coach gets his money back.
7. If the wrestler fails weigh in or skin check, they will forfeit all registration fees. Nothing, including the offered rebate, will be returned to the wrestler or coach.
8. If the wrestler fulfills all the above requirements, they will be rebated $5.00 at the scale.
9. If the wrestler fails the rebate process, he or she will still be allowed to wrestle provided they make their registered weight class.
