Do you realize that if the weight brackets are changed to the USAW weights without adding the modifications, we would loose 400 kids( 25 brackets x 16) at the state tournament. And the modifications added are at the low end of each of the brackets. Most of the lower brackets aren't full at the state tournament the way it is. Keep in mind that if this change is made to add 144 6U, you will keep 400 kids at the other age brackets from participating at state. I would like to see 6U at the tournament but not at the expense of 400 other deserving wrestlers. As far as the age cutoff, the present date seems to follow the kids and the grade they are in.(ex; 4th and 5th graders overall at the 10U). We are going to a national tournament in Iowa in a couple of weeks and the age requirements are the same as Kansas and the weight brackets are almost the same.
