24/7- I also welcome the conversation but I feel the argument is flawed; regardless of the rules that are being suggested, the unhealthy practices that you listed will still be done. Only the kid will starve himself one additional day or will be like the horse jockey at the races & lined up to puke. Kind of reminds me of gun control laws; don't need new laws, need to work with the ones we have. Also, I feel fairly confident that this topic was not started to address 10/under wrestlers & younger; it is addressing the kids that already have one foot out the door as far as kids wrestling goes just like so many other topics that are talked about under the Kids Folkstyle section of this website. Is this rule that is being suggested going to help the majority of it's members? No. It is going to effect the minority that will have to go back to the old system as soon as they get out of kids wrestling! How about the logistices of this suggested rule change? We have a hard time rounding up 2-4 scales for a tournament, now we need 10-15? And they better be accurate. Otherwise kids are running from surface to surface arguing that the scale is wrong etc. Why not hydration testing 2x per year? This way we're not at the tournament til who know's how much longer then we are now. But hey, that's just my opinion.
