Eagle2 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Has anyone heard of the IHSAA making any adjustments to how many weigh ins a kid needs to have to qualify for State? I believe you have to have 5. With matches getting canceled it’s starting to concern me. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Time Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 IHSAA winter sports bulletin published last week still calls for 6 qualified weigh-ins to qualify for state tournament series. As it stands today, our team's schedule only includes 6 duals and a super dual, so that's definitely going to be tight. First dual isn't even until Dec. 2. God forbid a kids out sick or injured for a week. Or forced to quarantine for two weeks because of "suspected contact" with a COVID case. But let's be honest here, if things keep headed the way they are now . . . doesn't feel like there's a scenario where suddenly school districts feel comfortable hosting big multi-team tournaments by last week of January. I don't want to be this pessimistic, somebody tell me it's all going to be ok! Eagle2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbulldog152 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I know in past years with snow cancelations the IHSAA is normally willing to find loopholes to fill the spots like weigh-in at a meet that they're not wrestling at. We had a team come weigh-in to get an extra weigh-in about 3 years ago while we had a dual with another school. I'm sure the IHSAA will keep it the same until they feel the need to change it.

blorek Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'm confident the IHSAA will work with teams in the best interest of the kids. Difficult task, because there are so many different communities and policies regionally. I would expect a little flexibility this season. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Go Dogs!

Jcjcjc Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Commissioner Faulkens said he would not waive the 6 qualifying weigh-in rule. He did stress that you can get weigh-ins without meets as long as ref is there to do it. You can have a ref come weigh in people whenever you wish.

Rookies03 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 A kid who is hurt or just not wrestling can still weigh-in to get a qualifying weigh-in just remember to bring a singlet for them to wear when they step on the scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie78 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I guess the way that I read this is, what about kids who are quarantined due to close contact? They may be out 2 weeks and could potentially miss the opportunity to weigh-in 4-6 times. Obviously, if event are canceled then team could possibly catch a nearby event and get a weigh-in.

Eagle2 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 This season is a disaster. I know a team that has 4 weigh ins scheduled now due to quarantine and other events getting canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team should contact a ref to come to their school to get qualifying weigh-ins on paper and in the system once they are off quarantine. You can get a ref to do weigh-ins any time you wish, as long as the kids are not quarantined. Eagle2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
