We need to see actual weights. What if you got to Districts and there was a kid in your childs bracket that would cause all the wrestlers of that bracket to not be allowed to advance to state.
There would be some very upset people.
Please post the actual weights.
You are making one assumption that I believe affects this entire discussion.....that the "actual weights" are the ACTUAL WEIGHTS.
There are many things that can affect the weight recorded by the scale such as movement, leaning, etc. To my point, we weighed my son here at home Friday before heading to Sub-District weigh in and he was .3 under. This is a calibrated scale (and it's calibration checked regularly as we use for other things that require calibration) and we always take the average of (3) weigh-ins to allow for the restless kid factor. So, we get in the car, head to the weigh-in and he comes out and says "Dad, I am .2 over". I told him to just go around and back through, and this time make sure that he stood with his feet flat (like I had him at home) and that he stood perfectly still.
He came out 5 minutes later and said "We are good, I was .3 under like at home".
With that kind of variance, I would suggest that we could open up a huge can of worms when we start posting actual weights.
In my humble opinion, you either make weight or you don't, and that is responsibility of the tournament staff. As for your point about not allowing other wrestlers to advince, I know that is the rule. BUT, can anyone name a time where that was enforced. In 20+ years, I can't think of one.
Of course I could be wrong.........
