Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle New Girls Wrestling Rule Published in Writing Pls

Can we please get Kansas rules page updated with the new rule regarding girls must wrestle girls when a girls division is offered in a sanctioned tournament published so parents and clubs are aware of this rule. So that tournament directors are not accused of just making things up and/or people on social media can stop interpreting it in their own way without seeing it in print.

Thank you for getting this publshed in the By-Laws. FYI it's under: Section III Tournament Operations, Article I #5:

(5) All Folkstyle sanctioned tournaments must comply with the rules in the annual publication by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFSHSA), unless otherwise specified in this document. The following modifications refer to the NFSHSA rule that has been modified and apply to all sanctioned Folkstyle tournaments. USAWKS requires all sanctioned tournaments to submit a list of officials used to the head official in each district to begin tracking officials. This list must be sent to the Officials Director. All USAWKS sanctioned tournaments will ensure when a female division is offered, females will NOT be allowed to compete against male competitors.

My apologies for the late updating of the bylaws. There was confusion I had with the board and was waiting for clarification and approval. As always, if anyone has a question feel free to email or call me. I don't always look here.
