That will not fully resolve the issue. Pushing the max weight to 285 will not fully resolve the issue.
Someone is still not going to be happy or someone that falls outside the guideline.
I agree something is better then nothing but I also think there comes a time that if you want it bad enough that you have to take this matter into your own hands and do something about it on a personal level.
That's what we had to start doing 2 years ago.
Is it fair NO.
Is it right NO.
Does my sons love the sport enough to make changes and give the effort it takes to make one of these weight classes YES.
I am a fan of Dean and Hossus and know their kids personally.
But guys...
You got to do something for your kids cause the system just isn't going to.
You have been on here for TWO YEARS fighting the good fight. I just don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And I do see it as a form of discrimination cause they NEVER tell a kid he can't go to state cause he's too small even if he's outside the allowed weight varience. NEVER
But we tell these big guys no every year.
That's discrimination.
