lh2okid Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Due to schools being out wensday will there be a pound allowence on thrusday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungryman Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I would say yes but the weight on Sat will be the same as Fri. because the most you can increase is 2 lbs. so 103 becomes 106 for Thur. and 107 for Fri and sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lh2okid Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 but has tssaa made a official call on that yet and when will wrestlers find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnsmokediver Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 but has tssaa made a official call on that yet and when will wrestlers find out My guess is that the call has already been made, being that the 1 pound rule is an NFHS rule and not something TSSAA is doing on their own. By the rule book, they should get a pound. The coaches may not be letting their kid's know that though for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBlair Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Just talked to TSSAA. There will be no pound allowance on Thursday for inclement weather. Only allowance is the 2 pound growth after Christmas. An official statement appears on TSSAA's website http://www.tssaa.org/2009Champions/StateWrestling/home.htm.

The only way you get that extra pound is if the Tournament was postponed then you would get it, per the rule book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule change also makes it clear as to who should be notified when weight allowance is justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatt78 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 This is the one rule change this year I thought was a bit confusing. What I took from the state meeting was that if a school was out a day prior to a match due to inclement weather, and a team could not practice due to being out, you get the pound. Oh well, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I honestly have not had to use that rule this year. Great scheduling on behalf of my assigning officer.LOL! Just giving you heck I had to use it once this year down in chatt. I had to go read myself, it says something like canceling a match or tourney then you get pound, man they have been giving you all heck on here. lol I see you're doing the state, where they got you staying at.

I am afraid to say where we are staying due to the possibility of a terrorist attack on the officials. You would have to have "secret squirell" clearance to find out.
