If they can't make the weight they entered at, yes, absolutely they stay home, just like they would at any "lesser tournament". Why bother with the tournament entry guidelines, or even state rules? After all, they're just a suggestion (apparently). Its more important to get as many kids in as possible right?

For a "normal" non-qualifying tournament? I've got no problem with that. The mere idea of allowing this wide a scope of changes to this type of tournament at this stage in the season is complete Bravo Sierra and a slap to the face of all who thought it was going to be on a higher level.
