chillidawg Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 If a wrestler has their skinfold test on Thursday and weighs 139. Could he wrestle at 138 two days later on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 No, he can only lose approximated .3 per day, which would mean his lowest weight for Saturday is 138.4 for a qualified weigh-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillidawg Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks for clearing that up. I knew they could lose 1.5% in a week, but didn't realize it was calculated on a per day basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 You can simply multiply the Alpha Weight(139) by 1.5% then divide by 7 to get the per day weight loss of the individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tskin Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 there is actually a per day calculator on the IHSAA.net site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpt189 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Since you only need 6 qualified weigh ins before sectional, couldn't you actually weigh in at that weight and it not be a qualified weigh in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there is another fancy rules adjustment I sometimes miss, aqualifying weigh-in is any weigh-in reguardless of weight. Though you do have to make scratch weight once to wrestle at that particular sectional weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a qualifying weigh-in is any that falls within the conditions set out in the alpha test and the IHSAA rules for bumping up. Is there something else I am missing?

Is there something else I am missing? Yes that is part of it too. You must be "at or above" your minimum weight for that date as determined by your weight management plan. What meant to say by "at any weight" is that you didn't have to make all 6 at your sectional weight class. Which used to be part of the criteria prior to our new weight management plan system. But a wrestler does need to have one at "scratch" weigh-in (without Jan. 2lb allowance) at your sectional weight (per weight management) prior to the sectional seed meeting. If anyone need the exact information their should be a link on the wrestling part of the ihsaa.org website that spells out the Weigh-in rules.

No One Famous Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 A different question: what are ways different teams are measuring body fat %? is there a preferred method designated by the IHSAA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
