Shawn, I think you have several valid points: The lightest weight being 110 is probably too heavy and the fewer changes made to the ammendment would make it more likely to pass. I do like the idea of taking on Middle School weights for the 14U division. But, there are 18 Middle School weights, and 18 Kids Division weights so I don't think it will make a big difference. We can address that next year.
My ammendment will be to replace the 16U division with a High School Division. The High School Division will also take on the High School weights: 103, 112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215, and HWT. If a wrestler is in High School and age eligible for the 14U, they may choose which divison they will wrestle in for the State series.
elid2, I do not think wrestling up will be in violation of the constitution. My reasoning is, that if they are in High School they can wrestle the High School Division, and if they are 14U they can wrestle the 14U division. Basically they are eligible for both divisions, they just need to make the choice which division they want to wrestle in.
We still have a week before the meeting. I still welcome concerns and ideas.
