JoshSeb Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Can anyone fill me in on the current rules on how many events a kid has to compete in to qualify for the 2lb weight allowance? And then how many events are needed to qualify a weight for the state tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Time Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 As I've always understood it, after Dec. 26, the growth allowance is applied to the weight classes, not individuals. So the qualifying weight for 106 becomes 108, regardless of how many matches or weigh-ins an individual wrestler has had. For the state series (from the rulebook), beginning with sectionals, wrestlers must have achieved a minimum of six (6) qualified weigh-ins throughout the regular season. One of the six qualifying weigh-ins must be during the month of January. Additionally, of the six qualifying weigh-ins, one must be at scratch weight for the weight class entered into the IHSAA tournament series.

Yeah, you can take the allowance no matter what, but the thing stated here to worry about concerning the allowance is to have a scratch weight at the class you want to wrestle at in sectionals. To wrestle 106, you have to weigh in at 106 at some point before the sectional seeding meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Indiana, the date for the growth allowance shall be December 26, 2020. WrestlingDad1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
