NFHS Rule (4-5-5)

IF ONE OF THE SCHOOLS IN THE COMPETITION ON SATURDAY DOES NOT HAVE SCHOOL OR PRACTICE AS A RESULT OF A WEATHER FORCED CANCELLATION ON FRIDAY, THEN THE SCHOOL NOT HAVING PRACTICE ON FRIDAY NEEDS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE HOST SCHOOL FOR SATURDAY OF THAT FACT. ALL WRESTLERS IN SATURDAY’S COMPETITION GET ONE POUND (IN ADDITION TO THE TWO POUNDS GROWTH ALLOWANCE THAT ALL CERTIFIED WRESTLERS ARE PERMITTED). This provision is the same as for the consecutive days of competition weight allowance - i.e., a maximum of two pounds (plus the growth allowance) should schools attending the Saturday competition be closed both Thursday and Friday.

So.... If an attending school has been closed due to weather one day prior to weigh-in, the allowance is THREE pounds. (One extra pound plus the two pound growth allowance to those wrestlers that have certified). If an attending school has been closed two consecutive days prior to weigh-in, the allowance is FOUR pounds. Four is the maximum.

This is MY understanding. Please confirm this with your host schools!

If you have already certified at 103, yes. Make sure to confirm this with your coach.

I thought Kansas didn't follow NFHS rules??? (Since we don't have a vote .. we don't follow NFHS hyrdation procedures)

The No school No Practice rule really hurts the sport. If they are already at school and they dismiss early whats an extra hour or two gonna hurt to Practice...?

Kansas does not follow NFS PROCEDURAL rules in regards to (a) weigh-in procedure and (b) weight loss/descent. In all areas of COMPETITION Kansas does follow NFS Rules.

So for us simple folks, do they get the extra allowance or not?

I emailed Mr. Bowden yesterday, Kansas does abide by this rule. All athletes wrestling at the Bonner Springs tournament this weekend will get 4 pounds if they have completed the 2nd certification, 2 if they have not.
