My AD scheduled a dual the day kids return from winter break, Jan. 2nd. The problem is that the High School is closed/locked on Dec. 31st and Jan.1 so we cannot practice for the two days before. Would there be an extra (1) pound or 2 pound weight allowance in this scenario? Thanks |

That is a great question and I have reached out to Byron Olson. I will post when I hear. But from the rule book a lot of coaches would jump to this rule. NFHS RULE 4.5.5: Competitions that are postponed for one calendar day or more, for reasons beyond the control of the participating school(s), or practices that cannot be held in these situations due to school policy shall be treated the same as competitions when there are consecutive days of competition in terms of the one (1) pound allowance, with the exception of the required 48-hour notice. I don't think so since this is not out of control of the participating schools. Your AD made a bad decision to schedule but it most likely could have been controlled. This not a postponement as this is the originally scheduled date. Then there is this rule MSHSL POLICY ON CANCELLATIONS AND POSTPONEMENT: When weather forces postponement of an event and it must be rescheduled to a Monday because of gym availability, a one-pound weight allowance shall be granted because no practices may be held on the day before competition (Sunday). But again this doesn't hold up because your event was not postponed and rescheduled for a Monday. I will post when I hear for sure. |

Just confirmed with Byron. This is not a situation where your wrestlers would get any additional pounds beyond the allowed 2 lb growth allowance on Jan 1st. So your 106 can weigh 108 on Jan 2nd due to 2 lb growth allowance but nothing additional due to the school being closed. Unfortunately your AD scheduled you on a bad day. |
