Yes... buuuuutttttt... not what I was talking about.The wrestling itself was great. Huge step up in the skill level of the field form last year. Excellent work to all teams/competitors!
Then ask the specific question you want the answer to, or go to the thread on the boys where that is one of the primary focuses, or start a separate thread.Yes... buuuuutttttt... not what I was talking about.
I mean that wrestler was in Region 2 so this absolutely is the wrong threadYes... buuuuutttttt... not what I was talking about.
No it is 100% about a wrestler from Orange Region.I mean that wrestler was in Region 2 so this absolutely is the wrong thread
I don’t care much since I don’t have a dog in the fight.. my question is why did 4-5 refs miss the singlet at pre regionals & why did none of the coaches at pre regionals notice and/or have an issue? It’s something she’s been doing all year. While I’m not arguing that it’s right… I’m wondering why it took that long for a ref to catch? Did someone make a complaint? Tell the ref to check it?No it is 100% about a wrestler from Orange Region.
No lol. I’m not implying anything, I typed exactly what I meant to say. There’s no hidden message in what I posted. I asked why it wasn’t caught earlier.So she did it for the handful of weigh-ins prior to post season... and it was illegal but nobody caught her... and then she got caught, but shouldn't be punished because she got away with it all year long...is that what you are implying?
I wasn't at Orange, but the problem is the informality of a lot of weigh-ins at regular season tournaments, so you don't have that same watchful eye you do at a post-season tournament.No lol.

Agreed. However, It wasn’t caught the week before at pre regionals. People are going to think I’m standing up for her, instead I’m questioning why the officials missed it multiple times. Should’ve been caught once and done. I’d like to see more consistency. It should’ve been caught EVERY time she tried it.I wasn't at Orange, but the problem is the informality of a lot of weigh-ins at regular season tournaments, so you don't have that same watchful eye you do at a post-season tournament.
With girls wrestling still trying to gain momentum in popularity, too often it gets treated like an off-season youth tournament where coaches show up, ask if they put this wrestler here in the open spot, or bump this girl up to get more matches etc.

This is so spot on.I wasn't at Orange, but the problem is the informality of a lot of weigh-ins at regular season tournaments, so you don't have that same watchful eye you do at a post-season tournament.

Interesting -- If you weigh-in with socks on and are over, you can't take them off to make weight -- but you can change a singlet when you are obviously trying to cheat. Can anybody make sense of that?A similar situation happened at the Mentor regional with the singlet. A coach from school "A" pointed out to the head official that a girl from school "B" wasn't wearing a proper singlet (elastic bands on the legs was cut out). They allowed her to go change into her school singlet and the difference being she made weight.
Apparently you can do what you want now, I didn’t get enough girls out in the S/W so I’m gonna try our chances somewhere else. That should be good under the new guidelines. Right??Interesting -- If you weigh-in with socks ion and are over, you can't take them off to make weight -- but you can change a singlet when you are obviously trying to cheat.

The sock rule is ridiculous to me but altered singlets is purposely trying to cheat the system.Interesting -- If you weigh-in with socks on and are over, you can't take them off to make weight -- but you can change a singlet when you are obviously trying to cheat. Can anybody make sense of that?
Correct! Amazing how one isn't allowed but the other was.The sock rule is ridiculous to me but altered singlets is purposely trying to cheat the system.
