Pittsburg tried to get everybody to follow rules that were not really rules! I saw several instances of this. I saw a kid that had 13 minutes in between his match and they told him too bad! They also tried to tell everyone that they couldn't wrestle without thier shoelaces being taped because it was a rule. Then later someone looked in rule book and it was decided it wasn't a rule. What is up?
It was the coaches fault if he did not call the head ref to the table and contest the 13 minute wait. The rule clearly states that you have 30 minutes. As far as the tape rule, the kids division goes by the High School rules UNLESS there is an ammendment to that rule. There is no ammendment stating that tape is not required. Therefore, tape is required. Page 17, rule 4, article 3.
