It's being questioned so the path can be prepared for the child instead of the child being prepared for the path. Things in life happen unexpectedly. Learn to deal with them and still fulfill the obligations you made. You put down a weight, make the weight. No Excuses.
So in your opinion...
What would you say to someone who called after the tournament deadline and wanted to move up or down a weight class because of lifes unexpected happenings?
Would that be same preparing of the path as a club allowing a weight allowance?
I used to be a hard core weight liner until all 3 of my son were wrestling in weight classes were 10, 17, and 70 pounds apart.
I cam to realize that 1% weight difference isn't going to change the out come of the match.
Like I said either way it don't matter to me!
I just don't think kids need to worried a pound or so when its due to weather vs just sitting on the couch playing video games eatting BBQ Chips!
