I have been to tournaments where kids who did not make weight, were allowed to enter the weight they did make for an additional entry fee.

You hate to send a wrestler home for not making weight, but it really isn't fair to let him in when all the other wrestlers made their weight. The extra entry fee helps keep them honest.

I remember wrestlers at Tulsa Nationals used to enter at two weights, in case they didn't make the lower weight, they could still wrestle one weight up. They do not allow this anymore.
