Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Weigh-ins at State

This year we are going to try and improve the Weigh-in experience.

As you enter the room you must proceed to your district table and pick-up a weigh-in card. Then go to the Weigh-in entry for hair and finger nail checks. If you wear a skull cap you must bring it with you, your arm will be marked and as well as the card. Then you will go thru skin checks and have your arm marked.

We will have 8 scales set up and you may weigh at any scale if you make weight we keep the card. If you do not make weight we will keep the card and you try again later. But you must go back to the orginal scale to try again. After 5:30 you can challenge any scale. But someone from your orginal scale will go with as you challenge another scale.

Please review the rules on weight cutting as they will be strictly enforced.

On skins checks you must have the form found on this website and a note written on your Doctors letter head. Having only one does not count, you must have both.

Rememebr the times for weigh-ins 4pm to 7pm.

Is there a certain number of attempts allowed to make weight?

No, But it has to be the same scale until after 5:30.

Ned a wrestler does have a chance to challenge a scale don't they? I thought they could have 1 challenge. Maybe I am wrong or a new rule has been appllied this year. I also understand officials will be looking at nails, skin, and hair closely as they normally do for state.

I don't really understand why you have to go to the original scale? All of the scales are supposed to be certified? You should be able to use any of the scales. At D1 weigh ins the weigh in official kept the card regardless. If you made weight the card was marked and filed so it could be audited against the entries. If you didn't make weight an official kept the card but you weren't bound to a scale. The weigh in official who has the wrestler's cards could simply accompany them to scale of their choice to attempt weigh in. If he makes it the scale attendant marks and files the card, if not the weigh in official keeps the card again, repeat until you make it. Hopefully everyone will make it!

After 5:30 can they go down the line and try all of the scales, or are they limited to 2?

I would imagine they want you to go back to the scale where your card is being held,they are all certified scales and don't want time being consumed by hopping around scale to scale and trying to find your card.
