Double_Nickels Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 How are alternates supposed to know if they are going to get to wrestle? For example if someone misses weight are you supposed to be their just in case? If anyone could answer I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABAMF Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I believe that if you miss weight there is no alternate, there is only an alternate if someone is injured before hand and cannot participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If you can't wrestle for any reason weight or other wise the alternate can take that place. However, ofe of hte alternates does have to be present for this to occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbulldog152 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Can you still be an Alt if you lost in the Ticket round by DQ or thrown out? I've always wounder that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Computer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If you're disqualified for flagrant misconduct you're out of the tourney, even as an alternate. We turned in two alternates for each weight, so alternate number 2 (loser to weight class runner-up in the ticket round) would get the opening if one should happen.
