bbulldog152 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'm sure this has been asked and even answer but I didn't search good enough to find it but how does the program actually work? I understand they're only supposed to lose 1.5% a week but does it reset after each weigh-in or does it go off of what it says for minimum weight for the week?

HornetPride Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It resets after each official weigh in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbulldog152 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 So for example a kid weighs 175 one weigh-in then 170 4 days later that probably won't count but his next weigh-in will be based off of his 170 weigh-in not the 175? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestlingfan937 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 1.5% of 175 will be 172.7 if they weigh in at 170.4 that would not count. They would have to weigh in at a minimum of 172.7 for them to continue to go down weight. weigh ins have to be done with an official present and I believe you can request them to arrive at your school to do them, no competition needed.

I understand that part but it doesn't always translate that way on the program. It seems like it resets after each weigh-in im just trying to confirm. Like in your example a way in directly after 170.4 would go off of that weight not the other 2 weights you have listed. But I've seen a kid go from 149.6 to 144.8 in 4 days and it still count. But another kid go 143.0 to 139.8 in 8 days and it not count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I have witnessed a couple of times when the program has made a mistake and counted a weigh-in as certified when it shouldn’t have. I have not had the opposite occur yet.

Coach Peck Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 When I coached you had to enter the actual weight from each weigh-in in the IHSAA website (our AD did this at the secure site) and then It would tell you if that was a qualifying weigh-in.

CoachBumgardner Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I had some similar issues this year that I haven't in the past. I had numerous wrestlers with 5 qualified (green) weigh-ins and they were a green profile overall. At the exact same time I had others with 5 qualified weigh-ins who were still red. We didn't have an issues overall with them because we still had weigh-ins left on the schedule, but it was very confusing what the program was doing.

Did those guys have a green weigh-in during January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not make much sense considering I had multiple wrestlers with the exact same number of weigh-ins, dates of qualified, and number of qualified weigh-ins get different designations on their profiles. Like I said though, it worked out well for us and our kids are all able to compete but was concerning when a math teacher is questioning if I can count to 6.
