Re: Eligible for weight classes

My understanding is that the 50% rule applies to moving down in weight, not up. If a wrestler enters the next higher weight at region, for whatever reason, they have met the requirement because they were eligible for that weight 100% of their weigh-ins. As for moving down in weight, I think a coach ...

Re: Region 1 A/AA

This is the flaw in a regional format for sports. If one doesn't want to increase the size of the state tournament, one idea would be to hold a last chance qualifier tournament after regions. Do regions same as now. Take the top 3 qualifiers from each region. This leaves 4 spots remaining to be file...

Re: Eligible for weight classes

I would be interested to hear what others have to say on this, but it seems to me there was a time prior to the institution of trackwrestling/weight assessment stuff that a wrestler could go two weights higher than his eligible weight, but if he did, he would be recertified and could only go back do...

Re: Eligible for weight classes

I think the point that coach28 might have been making is that (to pick out only one example) the 150 wrestler can weigh in at 150.1 so that he is entered at 157. He can wrestle up to 165 and still be able to return to 150 at a later date. He is correct. After the weight allowance, he would need to w...

I agree. It was more like an interesting by-product. It was not what made him one of the great ones necessarily, but it is pretty amazing that a wrestler would not have given an escape point intentionally, or be called for a technical violation, etc. If all matches were quick pins, it might have bee...

Each of them were special individuals. Each had his own personality, style, work ethic, and skill set that made them the best. They spanned different times also.

Re: New Classification

Things seem to have turned a little hostile. I think the poster was just expressing a sentiment that classes need to be divided a little more evenly based on numbers of teams. It's true that the large class division has half as many schools and it is true that the smallest schools have a much harder...

Point made, but it doesn't prevent a person from going through proper channels to get an answer before such proposals. 1st year coaches know better than to accept money for their athletes' performance.

People are getting caught up on how the money is given or who it's given to. The rule that was cited is somewhat broad and does not say it applies only to money paid directly to the athlete.

People make donations. That's not new. IF there's a problem with these ideas, it might be because the contribution of money is still directly tied to the athlete's performance.
