So does this mean now you every extra must be listed as a separate team if you have multiple wrestlers in a weight class? Does this only apply to bracket tournaments.
I've been coaching 20 years and a lot of tournaments have always let you enter extra's . Now with this enforcement I feel we will lose more wrestlers. Its hard to find enough coaches already to send kids to a seperate jv tournament. Let alone if you are able to take kids to a tournament and enter multiple wrestlers.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

7 - Clarification on Multiple Entrants to Individually Bracketed Tournaments
I have been made aware that tournaments in some areas of the state have allowed schools to enter multiple entrants from the same school to enter a tournament in the same weight class / bracket. This is not permissible by NFHS rule 1-4-1. This is not permissible regardless of scoring / non-scoring team point modifications that have been applied to these entrants in the past.
The language in 1-4-1 was somewhat ambiguous, so I confirmed this interpretation with NFHS wrestling administrator Elliot Hopkins. In a related note, a school may weigh-in two wrestlers with one moving up to the next weight classification.
