[quote=BLT]I am not trying to be a jerk about this but ok I guess I will be. There are districts out there following and enforcing the rules and others that are not. I was informed over the last week that in order for a tournament to be a santioned event that it must follow all the rules and bylaws set forth by USAWKS.

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

For some reason I thought this rule was for non qualifying tournaments to control what brackets can and can not be combined.
