I want to first say, I 100% agree with you Beeson. I do know the thought process as i sat in those meetings when new weight rules were implemented by KSHSAA.

Thought process by Adminstrators: We don't want kids focusing on cutting weight and no focusing on school on competition days. (I think that is flawed thinking b/c if they are cutting too much weight, they are not as focused on school anyway and it would be the entire day before at best)

Following the decent plan by the National Federation is a Crap Load of paper work on a coach. (I agree with not following the decent plan)

However, I truly believe that if we implemented:
1. 1 hour weigh in before duals
2. 2 hour weigh in before tournaments
3. 2 Hour weigh in before 2nd Day of 2 Day tournaments
4. 1 Hour Weigh in before scheduled Finals of a 2 Day tournament (Not sure about this one but it was a thought i had while typing)

We would fix a lot of things! smile
