Just heard last night that the DI District is SW Ohio is going to be held over the course of THREE days....after OHSAA recommended 2 days.
Thursday - 106-145
Friday - 152-285
Sat - Blood Rounds & Place Matches
Sooooo...the lightweights have to hold their weight from Thursday AM weigh in....until Sat morning weigh in...while only getting the +3 and no weigh out from Thurs night. What idiot came up with this plan? Was there actually any wrestling people involved with advising the board on this? The guys who typically have hardest time with weight control....have to hold their weight for 3 days. Upper weights have to hold it overnight. SWDAB 3 day rationale likely is health and safety during COVD then they go and put half the field health and safety at risk.... If they want to go to a 3 days then they really need to reconsider and do one of the following..
1. If they don't want to do weigh outs or give additional weights, Switch the schedule...145-heavy on Thurs and lightweights on Friday. Those bigger guys don't lose the same % of body weight....
and/or
2. Give the Thurs competitors +4 on Sat am weigh in...heck give them all +4.
Can't believe that this has not been posted on here yet...maybe not many realizing it yet...and probably not many wrestlers/parents told yet.
Some may say well you shouldn't be cutting that much....great...but it's still happening even if some say it shouldn't.
Some say...everyone weighs in at state on Thurs and then again Fri night.... Great. Thurs weigh in is +3. Friday is +4...and only placers weigh in. There aren't any parallels here.
