1. A computer-based system for managing a high school or college wrestling team, comprising:

a computing device with a microprocessor in electronic communication with one or more databases or computer readable media storing information about a high school or college wrestling team;

wherein the microprocessor is programmed to permit a user to:

enter the high school or college wrestling team in a competition;

upon selecting the competition from a list, view all wrestlers in the competition, eligible weight class of the wrestlers, and lowest eligible weight class of the wrestlers for date of the competition; and

enter results of the competition for storage in one or more databases,

wherein the information about the high school or college wrestling team comprises data about individual wrestlers on the high school or college wrestling team comprising at least one of the following: date of initial assessment, weight of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, body fat % of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, minimum wrestling weight prior to variance, minimum wrestling weight after variance, final minimum wrestling weight, minimum weight class, and first date at minimum weight class.

2. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the microprocessor is programmed to permit a user to enter results of the competition while the competition is ongoing.

3. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the databases or computer readable media storing information about a high school or college wrestling team are remote from the computing device, and the electronic communication is through the Internet, and

wherein the one or more databases storing results of the competition are remote from the computing device.

4. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the microprocessor is programmed to create brackets for the competition.

5. The system of claim 4 , further wherein the brackets are automatically updated while the competition is ongoing based upon the results of the competition which also are updated while the competition is ongoing.

6. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the microprocessor is programmed to permit a user to enter, add, update, modify, or delete information about a high school or college wrestling team, or about one or more individuals on a high school or college wrestling team.

7. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the microprocessor is programmed to permit a user to enter information about a competition.

8. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the microprocessor is programmed to permit a user to change the weight class for a wrestler.

9. A computer-based system for storing and analyzing data about a high school or college wrestling team, comprising:

at least one computer server with a microprocessor in electronic communication with a database storing information about high school or college wrestling teams and individual athletes;

wherein the microprocessor is programmed to:

provide information about a high school or college wrestling team or individual athlete in response to a request;

provide a screen comprising all wrestlers in the competition, eligible weight class of the wrestlers, and lowest eligible weight class of the wrestlers for date of the competition;

receive information about the results of an athletic competition; and

update the information about the high school or college wrestling team or individual athlete based on the athletic competition results information,

wherein the information about the individual athlete comprises at least one of the following: date of initial assessment, weight of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, body fat % of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, minimum wrestling weight prior to variance, minimum wrestling weight after variance, final minimum wrestling weight, minimum weight class, and first date at minimum weight class.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the request is received from a remote computing device in electronic communication with the computer server, and

wherein the electronic communication is through the Internet.

11. The system of claim 9 , further wherein the microprocessor is programmed to provide statistical information or analytical information about the high school or college wrestling team, individual athlete, or athletic competition.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the athletic competition results information is received while the competition is still ongoing.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the athletic competition results information is received after the competition has concluded.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the information about an individual athlete includes weight or weight class.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program instructs a microprocessor to perform the following steps:

providing information about a high school or college wrestling team or individual wrestler in response to a request;

providing a screen comprising all wrestlers in the competition, eligible weight class of the wrestlers, and lowest eligible weight class of the wrestlers for date of the competition in response to a request;

receiving information about the results of a wrestling competition; and

updating the information about a high school or college wrestling team or individual wrestler based on the wrestling competition results information,

wherein the information about the individual wrestler comprises at least one of the following: date of initial assessment, weight of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, body fat % of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, minimum wrestling weight prior to variance, minimum wrestling weight after variance, final minimum wrestling weight, minimum weight class, and first date at minimum weight class.

16. The computer medium of claim 15 , further wherein the microprocessor performs the step of calculating statistical information or analytical information about the high school or college wrestling team, individual wrestler, or wrestling competition.

17. The computer medium of claim 15 , further where the microprocessor performs the step of entering, adding, updating, modifying, or deleting information about a high school or college wrestling team or individual wrestler.

18. The computer medium of claim 15 , wherein the information about the individual wrestler comprises at least one of the following: date of assessment, hydration level, body weight, assessment data, skinfold measurements, body density, body fat, fat weight, fat free weight, lowest allowable weight, number of days between assessment and deadline date by governing body, lowest allowable weight, minimum wrestling weight, designated weight class, person performing assessment, and person entering information.

19. A method for storing and analyzing wrestling data, comprising the steps of:

storing information about high school or college wrestling teams and individual wrestlers in one or more databases in electronic communication with a computer server with a microprocessor;

providing information about a high school or college wrestling team or individual wrestler in response to a request;

providing a screen comprising all wrestlers in the competition, eligible weight class of the wrestlers, and lowest eligible weight class of the wrestlers for date of the competition in response to a request;

receiving information about the results of a wrestling competition; and

updating the information about a high school or college wrestling team or individual wrestler based on the wrestling competition results information,

wherein the information about the individual wrestler comprises at least one of the following: date of initial assessment, weight of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, body fat % of the individual wrestler at time of initial assessment, minimum wrestling weight prior to variance, minimum wrestling weight after variance, final minimum wrestling weight, minimum weight class, and first date at minimum weight class.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the wrestling competition results information is received while the competition is still ongoing.
