You can still wrestle down. It's only at state and regionals that your weight is fixed in one of two weight classes.
A wrestler could be weighing in at one wt. and wrestling at a higher wt. class all year. They could then still move down.
Also if a wreslter has weighed in once at a lower wt. class he can still move down. As long as half his weigh in's are at that wt. or lower.
Certification into a Weight Class
1) A wrestler is certified into a particular weight class
at any regularly scheduled match or tournament any
time on or prior to January 15 by making base
weight at an official weigh-in on a certified scale as
long as that certified weight is not below the
documented minimum weight and is at a time allowed
by the minimum weight calculations. A wrestler
weighing in on or prior to January 15 is continually
certifying at the weigh-in weight.
2) Once a wrestler is certified into a particular weight
class as of January 15, he/she may weigh-in only in
that class and one class above. He/she is
automatically re-certified into a higher weight class
after January 15 by weighing in and qualifying for
that class, but never into a lower weight class. After
January 15, making base weight (including growth)
two classes above any previously certified weight
class automatically renders that wrestler ineligible for
the remainder of the year to wrestle in the lower
weight class (previous certified weight).
3) A wrestler may only enter the postseason
tournaments by making the required weight (base
prior to January 15, two-pound growth weight on or
after January 15) in a minimum fifty-percent of
his/her certified weigh-ins, including those in part
A(4) above.
thanks, clear that up for me!
