Everyone should at the weight they will wrestler at State; this comes with the 2 pound allowance given on the 15th. Thats if I am correct; no more going down to lower weight class.

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!
