The following is a list of qualifications for boxers to compete in the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves (UMGG) Regional Tournament, UMGG Championship Tournament, and GG National Tournament:

Bout Requirements
Regional Tournaments – Boxers must have 4 active bouts in their USA Boxing Competition Book.
UMGG Championship – Boxers must have 4 active bouts in their USA book.
National Championship – Boxers must have 5 active bouts in their USA book.

Age Requirement/Determination for all GG tournaments
Boxer minimum age: 17
Boxer maximum age: 34
Age determination date is August 1, 2010 for 2010 tournaments.  A boxer’s age on August 1, 2010 is his/her competition age for all tournaments.
Examples:
Q:  Can a 16-year-old compete in the GG Tournament of Champions, May 3-May 8 2010?
A:  Yes, IF his/her 17th birthday occurs before August 1, 2010 (he will be 17 on August 1st)
Q:  My boxer who is 34 wants to box in our Regional Tournament – he turns 35 on May 5, 2010.  Can
he box in the tournament?
A:  NO!  He will be 35 before August 1, 2010 – therefore, he cannot box at any tournament.

Citizenship
Since the 2010 tournament could be an advancing event & does qualify boxers for international, Pan American or Olympic competition: NON-CITIZENS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE to compete in this year’s Golden Glove National Tournament of Champions.
Number of Rounds and Round Lengths
Regional and UMGG Championship Tournaments:
Semifinals    Three 3-minute rounds
Finals        Three 3-minute rounds
National Tournament:
Monday-Thursday    Three 2-minute rounds
Semifinals        Three 3-minute rounds
Finals            Three 3-minute rounds

Weight Classes-the weight classes have changed-there will be only 10 competition weights-
108, 114, 123, 132, 141, 152, 165, 178, 201, 201+

NOTE (for past tournament-winning boxers from 2007, 2008 & 2009):
If a boxer has won a UMGG Regional or Championship Tournament in the past, and has failed to attend the following tournament (Examples:  Won the Regional Tournament and did not attend the Championship, won the Championship and did not attend the Nationals), that boxer must write a letter to the UMGG Board of Directors, stating the reason they did not attend.  This letter must be received by the appropriate Regional Director two weeks before the Regional Tournament.  The letter will be reviewed by the UMGG Board of Directors to determine qualification for this year’s tournaments.  It is important for the Upper Midwest region to have boxers who will represent their gym, their region, and the Upper Midwest at each level of competition.  Sending boxers to the National Tournament also represents an expense to the UMGG.
