Who all is going?

Numbers are extremely low and may be opened up to non qualifiers and middle schoolers.

Just a suggestion, making registration simpler may get more registrants. The instructions say you have to print and mail in a form with the registration fee. If there's a way to register online (i.e. Trackwrestling), you may get more response. With that said, we are bringing all three of our qualifiers and have yet to register. If you open it up, we will have at least one more.

Let's get this advertised on the Indiana and Yappi boards and invite whoever wants to compete. Another older age division would be desirable too.

Will they still weight in the morning of the tournament!

It is possible.

[Bluesdad 73]

So spot checks

[sbfraz 8]

We would really appreciate clarification on weight checks as well. When they are conducted does affect the weight class for some wrestlers. For example, my son will easily weigh in under 55 at a morning weigh in, but after having a protein bar, apple and some Gatorade, he will be over 55. He weighs between 54.3-54.8, and after nationals yesterday afternoon, he weighed 56.1. Staying hydrated during a tourney is important as I'm sure we'd all agree.

I have registered him at 55, and he has wrestled at that weight the last 4 Saturdays, two of which conducted real weigh ins. I've asked when the checks will be conducted a couple times with no response. It really does matter for kids on the edge of a weight class. I'd prefer to know ahead of time so there is no confusion the day of the tourney.

Same identical situation with Blue. More clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Anyone will be able to challenge a remote weigh-in.

[sbfraz 8]

If that's the case, you need to set up the criteria. What will be the cut off, one pound, two? If there is no clear criteria for weight challenges, we prefer to weigh in at the tourney. Is that an option? I'm not trying to be difficult, I just hate challenges, especually when there are no established criteria agead if time. Either weigh them all in or check their weights at the door. IMO, it's not right to allow a challenge four matches in when a kid has been wrestling all morning and eating drinking to keep up energy and hydration.

[Bluesdad 73]

I believe all challenges have to be ask for and performed before wrestling begins. Is that correct?

[sbfraz 8]

I've seen a couple happen before the finals with the kid weighing 2-3 pounds over the 10% rule and nothing being done. Then everyone just leaves the situation frustrated. Guidelines need to be set. If its before the first match, that's fine. Waiting all day is not in my opinion.

[Bluesdad 73]

I'm 100% agree with you.

[tiltfor3 20]

Due to several factors, it has been decided to cancel this tournament for Saturday, March, 30th.

The timing was bad between being Easter weekend and spring break for many that the numbers were just too low.

We will schedule something else soon.

Thanks to all that pre-registered and volunteered to do weigh-ins.
