In the bigger tournaments it's common practice for kids to cut weight, but if you want to stay competitive you have to play the game because of the weight & strength differences, unless your kid is just a super stud. Its to bad its like that, or is it to bad that some parents are that competitive - Iam looking forward to Jack Roller's sampling of the older kids weights @ Tulsa Nationals this year> I wish he would sample all the kids that he made World All Star team members - so he would know what he is producing and promoting. Iam for pre-match weigh ins >
I think it would stop some if the unneccessay weight cutting and be much healthier for our kids while their still growing.
