I respectfully disagree with Rassler. These boys have spent up to 6 months training and cutting, many every weekend. They associate wrestling with cutting and training. Let them relax and have fun, not worrying about weight. If a wrestler has a weight deficiency against another who is expected to cut for the team, Mike Pursel will undoubtably take that into consideration. While a guide for the team, Mike said the tournament is not an absolute guide, just a good place to see the kids go against each other and provide a benchmark on their abilities. I think cutting and training is a primary reason why many don't wrestle in the spring, which can be done parttime.
