U.S. Grappling returns to North Carolina on Saturday, March 27, 2010 for the NC State Championships. The tournament will be held at NetSports in Morrisville, NC.
Saturday weigh ins will be held from 8:30 AM to 10 AM for anyone competing in no gi divisions, and will be extended to noon for anyone that will only be competing in the gi.
