If there is a school closing within a district the day before district tournaments do the wrestlers get a pound????

Pickerington not closed.
I believe the rule OHSAA sent out during sectional week was that if a school involved cancelled and couldnt practice due to weather on 2 consecutive days, there would be a weight allowance. They said it was for sectionals, but mentioned nothing about districts.

This is not fair to the schools who can't practice... They should give scratch plus 4 pounds max... OHSAA, no money will be lost because of this decision...
Please do not let moms with alterior motives (getting their driveway shoveled for free) dictate what is best for kids!!!

What's best for kids is to not put in more calories than they burn. They'll be O.K. Scratch plus two won't kill them. In addition, if they qualify for State they don't have to worry about bouncing or cutting to make it in only five days.

Are you saying Claymont District should be scratch +4 because 3 schools out of 40+ schools may miss practice tonight? OR that the limit for any allowance should be scratch +4?
As far as I know, all schools have been in session this week, up until today. IMO, no allowance for District or go with +1 (scratch +3) at the most for those districts that are affected by today's closings....

Like I said, the rule I saw was for any site that had schools closed for 2 consecutive days and every team at the site would get the weight. I have NOT seen anything for districts, just last week for sectionals.

I doubt it...like I said...the state said it had to be 2 consecutive days of no practice...in this case it will only be 1 day.

here is to hoping for the OHSAA mandate of scratch plus 7

...what? wouldn't that force the state qualifiers to cut down in only 5 days? Doesn't that fly in the face of the spirit of the hydration rules?
Why would you hope for that?

How about no weigh ins for the next 2 weeks? Since everyone is already stuck in their current weight class, we shouldnt have any issues, right?

...not if people maintained their weight instead of bouncing and cutting. Don't weigh ins deter that? I'd rather keep deterring it so I say lets have weigh ins.

Or how about you sit back and let the wrestlers be happy if they get a pound allowance, and stop whining.

Funny thing is most schools who dont have school still practice anyhow! So why the need for more weight?

I think it was uncalled for last week and shouldn't even be considered this week.
