This issue has needed some teeth put into it and it finally got it. What punishment does a kid who is already losing in say the district consolation semi finals going to get for being flagrant? Other than losing and having to serve 8 days suspension (but I presume following State it goes to the next calendar year), but since it's districts he's not out anything at all, other than the ejection that really means nothing.

The same thing goes for State, they are to miss 8 days following the suspension but with nothing after it and reverting to the calendar year they would have to miss the first tournament of the next year which was December 1st and I know a lot of kids don't really start until after the 1st of the year, so again no real consequences served to the kid.

I support this punishment as it not only teaches kids some self control, but if they cannot control themselves it goes to show them that it can have real consequences, not only in wrestling but in life as well.
