matman1976,

The point that is being made (and I missed it the first time also) is in this part of an earlier post:

Rule 4-4-2 No wrestler will be permitted to wrestle another person with a weight spread exceeding the following weights:

8 & under 15 pounds
10 & under 20 pounds
12 & under 25 pounds
14 & under 30 pounds
High School 35 pounds

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.

So, in this section of the rule and using the examples posted above, you can indeed be too light to wrestle a particular weight.

The issue that is being raised by the original poster is uniform enforcement of this policy, as I am sure that not everyone understands it correctly (again, I did not and I have been around this sport a long time).

And, the final point is that by posting the actual weights in TW someone could verfy this rule is being interpreted correctly, as it appears that last weekends subs MAY have had "some issues"

To that effect Ned posted "I am aware of the issue and I am looking into it".

This is an interesting topic, and shows how rules can sometimes create situations we did not anticipate.

Great catch BLT .......
