Part of the Wrestling Event should be heritage. I think the wrestlers & other participants should try to find a clan in their ancestry to represent (to participate for), or if there are no clans in their ancestry, they (& all participants) should still memorize & record their pedigree. If they are adopted & do not know their ancestry, the ancestry of their adopted parents should be given. If need be, a step parent may be substituted for a parent. The clan system included giving a child of the chief to be raised by the neighboring chief to insure peace & understanding.
To add heritage, this year I added a pedigree chart to the registration form. Next year I hope to require that the wrestlers learn their ancestors back to their 8 great grandparents (by asking their 2 parents, his 4 & her 4 grandparents), then the wrestler should fill out the pedigree on the registration form without asking questions or looking at any writing thereby demonstrating that they at least have their ancestry in short term memory. I would award 1 point for each surname on the chart (8 greats + 4 grands + 2 parents + self = 15 points). These points should be recorded on the web as a separate part of the wrestling contest. It is hoped they will then take the results of their study & join their clan & report their athletic results to their clan for their clan's report of this games.
