I think it would take 1 minute to have each wrestler step on a scale prior to their 1st match.

That would eliminate wiegh in's all together. You would need to register for a class you would qualify for easily.

I know my kid well enough that I know if he would be ok at 73 or need to go 76, but having said that the current system is fine with me.

My origianl post was really wondering if kids cut weight. I know that losing fat or waiting on supper till after we weigh is all together diffent. I also know that older wrestlers and all weight matched sports revolve around ability to cut weight.

I am fine with the way things are. I am also fine with him wrestling kids 3 to 4 lbs heavier.

One thing I noticed and was suprised at when I helped my club at our tourney was how many kids are way under what they sign up for. I had some kids 5 to 6 lbs under. One was even more than that if I remember correctly.
