The shoe lace rule has been talked about by the refs the past two weeks in the coaches meeting in our district and we have passed info to parents about this as well as ask our wrestlers place tape in thier bags for this.
I have to agree that these items should be enforced from the start of the season in all classes.
This weekend is the first time I have seen kids awarded points for the other wrestler crying, I don't know if I have just misssed this in the past and was paying attention this weekend but I had to ask a coach what the point was for.
