I wish I could have sent you a private e-mail on this. Two things first last night my son weighed 150.0 after practice. This morning he weighed 148.5. Whether it is a pound or 1.5 or even .5, it can make a difference whether you wrestle that day. These kids commit to a weight class early, long before February when this was communicated to most of us. They are used to a system where they compete all year being able to weigh in on Saturday morning. They are also used to State weigh-in having the Saturday morning weigh-in option available to them. If we are concerned about cutting of weight, we should be more concerned about unreasonably large weight class spreads like the 150 to 165 one that my son would have in 12 & under.

Second I too reread the Sept. Executive Council minutes and the State Body minutes. I also did not find this change in the State tournament weigh-in procedure mentioned in either. Clearly the majority in our State did not have a chance to provide input on this change before the decision was made.
