Instructions for weigh-ins
In order to make a smooth weigh-in process we are ASKING that NO PARENTS or COACHES accompany their wrestler into the “official” weigh-in area. 99.99% of the wrestlers make their declared weight. There is no moving up or down in the tournament based upon your official weight at weigh-ins. So you as a coach or parent already know what weight class your wrestler is entered at so then it is just a matter if he/she makes that weight at weigh-ins….it’s that simple.
If a wrestler for some reason does not make weight he will not be allowed to leave the weigh-in area and a tournament worker will then go out and get that wrestlers COACH and coach only.
Again we are ASKING that you follow this simple request. The tournament workers will ask you to leave if you attempt to come in. If you choose to ignore this request then you are part of the problem and not part of the solution….enough said.
The official rules for weigh ins are as follows from the IKWF by-laws:
-Wrestlers are required to wear a competition singlet upon entering the weigh-in area.
-Wrestlers are not allowed to leave the weigh-in area until weight has been made or not
made.
-Wrestlers are allowed two consecutive attempts to make their designated weight.
-If a wrestler does not make weight the first time, they will be brought to a designated
second scale immediately for their second attempt.
-If a wrestler does not make weight, they will be removed from the tournament.
Check scales may or may not be provided and are a courtesy and not a requirement for weigh-ins.
Before they leave the scales the wrestlers will be given a wrestler pass so they can enter the arena of the day of the tournament. Each location will have a unique pass and marking so we will be able to determine (if need be) at what location you weighed in at.
Coach’s bands will only be sold in Danville on Friday night during weigh-ins and on Saturday morning near the ticket office at the Palmer arena from 6:45 am until 8:00 am. If you plan on buying a coaches band DO NOT purchase a ticket for entry into the arena. The coach’s band gets you in the door and on the floor. If you come after 8:00 am on Saturday you will have to buy a ticket and come to the head table and exchange it for a coach’s band when you present your coach’s card.
