I guess I will ask the parents of all Seniors who have been State finalists in their previous 3 years to PM their addresses!

Addresses are always a hiccup in the process!

Yes, Miles is on the list!!

Our pre-qualifiers are those Seniors who have been a finalist sometime in their previous State tourneys!

There are tons of great wrestlers that should make the trip but they have to petition to get into this tourney!!

I don't know if it has been brought up on another post yet, but I think it would be great if our team singlets would have something on them to honor the Elvin family. I know when my son wrestled at nationals they were like an extra set of grandparents there to cheer the wrestlers(all of them) on. Just a suggestion.

We received a 3 lb weight allowance last year. I'd guess it would be the same this year.

Yes, the 3 pound allowance still exists!

** You may compete at the weight class at which you entered your State's 2010-11 Individual or Dual Meet Championships, a higher weight class or you may wrestle as low as your "Minimum Weight Class" according to the NWCA Optimal Weight Calculator, verified by a hard copy of your schools Alpha Master Report.

There is a bit of confusion out there about weights! I will make a phone call tomorrow and try to clear this matter up! However, I have copied the exact wording from the website!! (yes, I did recognize that this is 2012)

Okay, I just talked to the NHSCA office. A wrestler CAN compete at the minimum weight his Alpha weigh-in would allow!

So, if your Alpha weight was 141 but you certified at 145 and wrestled there all season ... you can still wrestle the SR Nationals at 135 (actually 130) based on the Alpha weight!

But I suggest, that if you are wrestling below your State Tournament weight, you obtain a certified copy of your School's Alpha Weight Report!!

That is the way that I understand it as well. For example, Alex Bontz weighed 160 at alpha weigh-in, which allows him to drop to 147.1. At Nationals, if he wrestles 145, he will actually have to make 148. Which makes him eligable for 145, since his alpha weight with the 8% is 147.1 and he has to make 148. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe this is how it is.

What the will look at is the Optimal Weight Calculator which will indicate the minimum weight class. An Alpha weight of 160 will allow 147.1 but that NFHS weight would be 152 not 145 ... I think that is how NHSCA will look at it!!

I have been told the 3-pound allowance will NOT change the weight class or change what the OWC will allow.

Randy, It appears the answers to our responses are in contrast to each other!

I ask NHSCA:
Would the Weight Calculator have to show their minimum weight be the 145 or the 148 with the 3 lb allowance?

Their answer:
You cannot wrestle below your lowest allowed weight on the alpha form. Weight, not weight class.
I hope this clarifies for you!
Best,
Mattie

Mattie is THE final answer on all things to do with weight class! I would save a copy of that e-mail however!!

So now the rule is, if your Alpha weight puts you with in 3 pounds of a lower weight class ... you are GOOD for that weight class!!

***URGENT***URGENT***URGENT

There has been a snafu with room rates at the Double Tree. I intended for those planning to stay with Team Kansas to contact us for the lodging and to gain a discounted price. Apparently someone contacted the Double Tree directly and asked for that discounted rate! The management of the hotel will NOT honor that rate.

So, the new room rate will be $146.77 per night, based on an occupancy of 4. The rate for the 5 night stay with be $736.08.

Sorry for the change ... we have expressed our disapproval but we will not get a discounted rate!

A single occupant with pay $184.02.

But you can contact the Hotel directly if you chose to for these rates to book your room! Make sure you tell them you would like to room on Team Kansas's floor.

Nothing else at this point will change! The leaders of Team Kansas will stay at the Double Tree and that is where ALL Team meetings will be held!!
