Just wondering your thoughts.

It is apparently OK after the 15th if your kid doesn't make weight you can scratch that weigh-in like it didn't count towards your 50% weigh ins.

Does that seem right?

What do you mean by scratch that weigh-in?

Did the wrestler weigh-in and a weight was recorded or did he not even try to make it because he was over and thus didn't have an official weigh-in.

Per MSHSL bylaws

SECTION/STATE MINIMUM WEIGHT CERTIFICATION PROCESS: Section/State Tournament weight - 50% of a
wrestler's weigh-ins starting January 15 and ending the first date of sub-section/section tournament must be at the lowest
weight that he/she will wrestle at the sub-section/section and state tournament.
Example: The wrestler weighs in at 132 pounds 5 times, 126 pounds 5 times and 120 pounds 5 times. He is not eligible
to wrestle at 120 pounds in post-season tournaments, but he is eligible to wrestle at 126 pounds, provided he makes
weight at the tournament site.
Wrestlers who have not had a weigh-in after January 14th may appeal to the MSHSL to certify their minimum weight for
section and state tournament competition.
The section weight form must be submitted electronically to the section manager by the established section deadline.
Complete your section entry form on wrestling central. This form has 2 parts. Part 1 allows you to enter individual weighins
beginning January 15th. Part 2 allows you to finalize your section roster and certify section weights. Once both parts
have been submitted, you are finished.
APPEAL PROCEDURE: The Athletic Director shall submit the following documents for approval.
1. Mail or fax a letter requesting an appeal for establishing a minimum wrestling weight. The letter must include the
following:
A. State the minimum weight that you are seeking to have the wrestler certified.
B. The wrestler’s current weight.
C. Identify the medical reason why the wrestler did not have any weigh-ins after January 15th. The appeal must be
accompanied by a letter from the attending physician, stating the reason and length of time the wrestler was
unable to compete.
2. A copy of the wrestler's Wrestling Weight Permit.
3. A listing by date of all of the appealing wrestler's weigh-ins.

It was recorded. It was contested by a coach and the section allowed the wrestler to be on team at that weight after it's investigation. Apparently it was all on the up and up, must be more to the story...

Just hard to hear something like that...when it makes a difference.
