Richard,
I know the rules, do I think they are right, no. When it is an honest mistake then I think things need to be done to let these kids wrestle. The paper work had him at the right age the parents did what they were supposed to do. The coach just mistakenly put him in at 8 and under. Mistakes happen right, or do they not around you?
And as for you Scott, it was not directed at you buddy or even Mr. Woody, I'm talking the higher ups. You know who did not let this little boy compete, they are the people who should be ashamed of themselves. Sorry if you thought I was speaking about you, my mistake...
