XCard Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I believe the rule is that for every day prior to the meet you are unable to have access to your facility for practice, 1lb is given for each day. Any participating team that is granted this means all teams participating are granted the weight allowance. Example: School closed Friday, 1lb. School closed Thursday & Friday, 2lb, etc. Someone correct me if I am wrong please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Per this from the great Tom Clark http://indianamat.com/messageboard/index.php/topic,27991.0.html Please remember athletes are only granted a 1lb allownce for tomorrow if their team is unable to practice today. If your school is cancelled today and you still have practice, then no additional pound tomorrow. So, if school A is participating in an event on Saturday and they are unable to practice on Friday, each school in that event would receive a 1lb allowance. School A's coach and AD should make every possible effort to contact the host school who in turn would contact the other participating schools to notify them of the additional pound. Please see rule 4-5-5 on page 18 of the 2013-14 Wrestling Rules Book Tom Clark IHSAA Rules Interpreter Also there is a maximum of 2lbs of allowance. So even if a team can't practice all week and wrestles Saturday they will only get the 2lbs additional(113=117lbs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Is it a rule that teams can't practice if school is out...or is that determined by each school corporation? I graduated in the 90s, but we always had a standing 10am practice time in case of snow days. The bus fuel lines froze in 1994(?) because of -20 temps, but we still practiced every day. What are the rules now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Brown Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I was just asking people's thoughts or that matter. I know that I cannot "give" an additional pound for Sat. Unless schools are not in session on Friday. On another note, Matt brought up a good point with it being to up the school corporation. Our policy is that if school is not in session you cannot hold practice. Being cancelled that is due to inclement weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday and Tuesday were pretty bad in the NE corner of the state so we did not practice at all In order to qualify for the "inclimate weather" weight allowance "no practice" is the rule, mandatory or optional; one wrestler practicing is the same as all wrestlers practicing, practice is practice. However, if one school is granted the allowance, all schools get the allowance. Every attempt should be made to notify the host school if and for how many days you have not had any practices and, in turn, they should make every attempt to notify all other particpating schools of any allowances.
