I have a wrestler that just broke his hand but is still planning on wrestling Regionals. Just wondering what the rules for a brace. Can he wear a hard plastic brace (on the palm) if we pad and tape it up? Or are we just stuck with taping only? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I understand the extension of the qualifiers and completely understand if a kid was injured or had a something personal going on. Unfortunately neither of these is the case in this situation. I was told since the kid was a good wrestler and his coach and team volunteered to help set up an exemption was made. I in no way blame the kid he was given a free pass and took it…good for him. But the rules are there for a reason and exceptions are going to be made then there needs to be some fine print added.

Been trying to get ahold of Mark Durham for an explanation but he is not responding, maybe someone here can shed light on it for me. How are kids who were not SSQ and did not qualify at one of the Qualifying Tournaments aloud in Fresh/Soph State? Seems very bias and unfair to all the kids that worked their tails off to get in. I feel like this should be corrected or an explanation given.
