Subject: 2012 USA Boxing National Championship Tournament
This is an exciting time of year for USA Boxing because the USA Boxing National Championships is an open tournament, which allows the men’s participants an opportunity to qualify for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team by winning one of the seven unqualified weight classes. The women’s participants in the seven non-Olympic weight classes will qualify for the 2012 Women’s World Championships. This is a reminder to make sure every athlete realizes the last date that they can register for the National Championships is Monday, January 30, 2012. NO LATE ENTRIES will be accepted. All athletes have to be properly registered and be open boxers having at least five bouts. No martial arts boxer can participate unless he/she has five certified USA Boxing matches recorded in his/her boxing passbook.
Registration for the 2012 USA Boxing National Championships will take place on February 25, 2012 from 6:00-10:00 pm and on Saturday, February 26 from 9:00 am-2:00 pm with preliminary competition beginning February 27 and finals taking place on March 3, 2012. As a reminder, all athletes and coaches will have to pay their own way.
The Crowne Plaza is the host hotel and has extended a special event rate of $87 plus tax per night. This event rate will apply for reservations made by Monday, January 30, 2012.
- Special Rates Valid February 25 - March 4, 2012
- For Reservations, call 1-888-233-9527 or you may book online by following the link below:
All competition will take place at the Special Events Center on the Fort Carson Army Installation. Arrangements have been made to allow easy access onto the base for USA Boxing National Championship participants.
As a reminder, the 2012 National Championships is a seeded tournament. The following criteria will be used to determine the seeding. Seeds will be announced when the entries close on January 30.
Women’s Seeds: Top four placewinners from the 2011 USA Boxing National Championships in the seven non-Olympic classes only.
Men’s Seeds: The top two placewinners from the U.S. Olympic Team Trials and the two two placewinners from the 2011 USA Boxing National Championships in the seven unqualified weight classes.
