On December 10th and 11th, the following weight classes will be contested for world titles: 61kg and 70kg men's freestyle, 71kg and 80kg Greco-Roman, and 55kg and 60kg for the women. Athletes who competed in the Olympics are not allowed to wrestle in Budapest at these non-Olympic weights. Only American athletes will be allowed in these weight categories at the Farrell so as to allow for a World Team Trials, best-of-three finals series.

This is a running entry list, and will continue to be added to in the run-up to the event. Besides determining our world championship team, it will also serve as the first qualifier for the 2017 WTT in all styles. 

The highest placed (medal winning) USA athlete per Olympic weight category who has yet to qualify will earn a spot in the 2017 World Team Trials.
