I forget what the exact rule is but you are either fine since you certified at 113 or you might have to make weight at scratch 113 after the new year. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I remember somethng about that though it's been 4 years since I've had to think about it.

If you certified, and actually competed/took a forfeit @ scratch 113...you are fine. You had to compete at scratch 113. If you did this, you are cleared for the 2lb Christmas Gift. Otherwise, you must compete at least once at scratch 113.

like 1_beats said, one time, just one time you must make scratch. It doesn't matter when you do it.

You don't get the 2 lbs until you make scratch.

If you make scratch at a dual in January you then get the 2 pounds the next time you wrestle at that weight...no matter when that is...even at the Sectional tournament.

  1. GROWTH ALLOWANCE
    1. The OHSAA Weight Monitoring Program includes growth allowance. A two pound growth allowance will be given on December 25.
    2. Growth allowance may not be utilized to achieve a lower minimum weight for a wrestler.
    3. In order to utilize the growth allowance, a wrestler shall compete at “scratch” (lowest allowable) weight in the desired weight class at least once prior to using the two pound growth allowance.
