About the Southeast Open:
Our Mission
The 2025 Southeast Open is our 16th season-opening tournament. Debuting as the Hokie Open in 2008 and continuing with that name through 2015, then as the Southeast Open in 2016, and once again as the Hokie Open in 2017 & 2018 and now continuing this year as the 2025 Southeast Open wrestling tournament.
This tournament was initially just an idea on a notepad and has grown to be one of the best season-opening college tournaments in the country. The level of competition has risen along with the profile of collegiate wrestling in the Commonwealth of Virginia, taking mid-Atlantic collegiate wrestling to a new level. This tournament is the perfect start for seasoned veterans as well as new or unseasoned college wrestlers. Opportunities make champions!

We expect up to 30 teams to compete at this year's edition as the 2025 - 2026 season gets underway. Once again, the tournament will feature two divisions:
- MEN's Freshman / Sophomore Division: this division is geared toward 1st and 2nd year wrestlers (and even upper classmen) who might not be ready for the rigors of the OPEN Division. The goal of this division is to provide these wrestlers with MORE opportunities to advance further in an early-season college-level wrestling tournament.
- MEN'S OPEN Division: this division is open to any and all male participants (HS WRESTLERS ARE PERMITTED THIS YEAR) and is geared toward wrestlers who NEED TO compete at the highest levels of D-1 wrestling. This division is open to ALL COLLEGE and HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLERS, regardless of year or age, and will be limited to the first 400 wrestlers who are REGISTERED & PAID online.
- BOTH DIVISIONS ARE DOUBLE-ELIMINATION!! Wrestlers will be placed into 16 / 24 person brackets. We plan to wrestle on 12 - 14 mats and wrestle to 6 places. Losers of the semi-finals will wrestler for 3rd, all other consolations matches wrestler to 6th.
This year's event WILL ONCE AGAIN BE STREAMED LIVE on FloWrestling. We will be using FloArena tournament software to run the tournament and mobile App, so coaches and fans can follow mat assignments and results.
