So for example:
1. If a 230 pound high school kid wants to wrestle 285 HE IS NOT ALLOWED!
2. If a 210 pound high school kid wants to wrestle 250 HE IS NOT ALLOWED.
3. If a 185 pound 12U wants to wrestle 215 HE IS NOT ALLOWED.

We have had some of these happen to us this week. We were informed of the rule and had to change weight classes and therefore lost any seeding critera that we had over other wrestlers. This may of cost a wrestler a chance to go to state. Even though they wrestle this weight all year long in HS or MS and at other tournaments, we have to make changes come state time.



We posted at the same time, and like I said....."Of course I could be wrong........."

I guess I was wrong, and in your scenario this is indeed an issue!
