Actually, we had 12 weight class for years prior to the inception of 14. As a coach I would love to go back to 12 weight classes. There are some definite advantages to it. One is that it is much easier to fill 12 weights than 14 and it would do away with some of the forfeits in dual competition. It would also shorten the length of the tournament day. With 12 classes there would not be as much jockeying of weights with kids and I think this is an overall health advantage. I’m sure that one arguments will be that less kids will get the opportunity to wrestle at the varsity level, but this is just a fact of life. Not everyone is meant for the varsity level. I think you will also find that by having 12 weight classes it will make the practice room more competitive.
