Verifying USA Wrestling Cards Automatically in WrestlingIQ

WrestlingIQ integrates with the official USA Wrestling API to verify wrestler cards are valid. Watch the video above or keep reading.

Configure your USA Wrestling settings

With your admin account, go to Team under the Settings tab. Switch to the Insurance tab along the top menu bar. On this page you will find a button to edit USAW configuration settings.

Within this page you will see the options for USAW information collection for your team.

If your team bulk buys USA Wrestling cards for your members, use the invisible option. With the invisible option, you can use the 'USA Wrestling System Export' report, upload that CSV to the USA Wrestling website to purchase it, export your roster from USA Wrestling, and then import them into WrestlingIQ using the 'USA Wrestling Membership Import' on the reports page. More details on that process here.

During sign up, USA Wrestling info will be collected and verified

Here is what the USA Wrestling screen looks like during sign up, with USA Card collection set to required. If you have USA Wrestling disabled, registrants will never see these screens.

If they enter an invalid card, or a lapsed card, the screen will look like this and force them to retry.

Once they have verified an active card, it will look like this:

USA Wrestling info is available on each wrestlers profile and WrestlingIQ ID cards

WrestlingIQ automatically checks last year's cards

Every night, WrestlingIQ queries USA Wrestling for updated information on memberships that existed last year, but have not been renewed this year. When a parent renews their membership in USA Wrestling, we automatically detect that and mark their card as valid with their new expiration date. No need to update the card by hand in WrestlingIQ.

USA Wrestling Reports

To generate reports on USA Wrestling information, go under the USAW/AAU tab along the top menu under Reports. If USA Wrestling information collection is enabled there will be options to run reports on specific active rosters or all wrestlers.

Reports available:

USA Wrestling Report: All USA Wrestling card information on file including USAW ID, membership type, and expiration date for each associated wrestler.

Missing Or Expired USA Wrestling System Export: Use this report to find wrestlers who are missing a USAW membership or have an expired one. You can optionally export this report to bulk purchase cards in USA Wrestling's system.

USA Wrestling System Export: If you upload a file to mass purchase USAW memberships, this report will output in the format you need (usaw_id, membership_type, email, first_name, last_name, dob, cell_phone)

USA Wrestling Membership Import: Upload a file of USAW membership IDs to attach it to your existing wrestlers, if you have bulk purchased cards.
