IWIN 49 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 Not sure how many do, but I will say its a huge disadvantage! 1 less day of practice. Have to be at school all day and hold your weight until that night. Wrestle a couple of matches. Go home, try to get some rest, then have to turn around in approximately 8-9 hrs and make weight again. IMO, wrestle all day Sat., if the 5 match rule catches you, wait it until 12:01 a.m. to wrestle the next match. Just sayin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New2Wrestling 3 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 Region 3 started this year. Last year, poor planning, poor seeding, poorly run tourny-- SEVERAL kids had to come back on SUNDAY due to the 5 match rule. SUNDAY??? That's after sitting there all crazy day Saturday. Don't get me started again-- I voiced my displeasure last year and the tourny director about blew a fit over my comments. OH WELLLLLLLLLL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cougar05 6 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 No way! Best thing to do is run through two rounds of championship head home and come back the next day and compete. No one in their right minds wants to wait til 12:01 to wrestle another match. And what advantage is 1 region going to have over another? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keepyourheadup 10 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 Just my opinion but I think it's crazy to have to make weight twice for one tournament??? I know it's always been that way but if you wiegh in Friday I don't think you should have to wiegh again saturday morning. I remember my jr year down state we wieghed Friday wrestled then when we was done went out to eat that night. I woke up saturday I was over had to run to make it.

Cougar05 6 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 That is the sport of wrestling. Not having weigh-ins on the second day puts kids at an unfair advantage. Just like in the sport of boxing it is neccessary to have to make weight two days in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
