rules:
OSHAA GENERAL SPORTS REGULATIONS 2011-2012, (among others) provide: 21. Interscholastic Scrimmage 21.1) An interscholastic scrimmage is defined as a contest in sports in which the rules of the sport are not followed in all respects. The length of the scrimmage is limited to a maximum of three hours per squad or individual per day for grades 9-12, and two hours per squad or individual per day for grades 7-8. 21.2) A scrimmage may involve any number of teams from various schools. A scrimmage does not count in the won/lost record for any school involved in the scrimmage. 21.3) No admission of money, materials or supplies may be charged for a scrimmage. Voluntary donations of supplies or money may be accepted at a scrimmage but cannot be required for admission. 21.4) This regulation prohibits two or more school teams from practicing together unless it is a scrimmage. 21.5) A scrimmage must be considered the same for all schools involved. 22. Preview 22.1) A preview is an athletic contest played according to the adopted rules for a sport except that one-half the length of a regular season contest is permitted. Previews are permitted only in those sports in which scrimmages are allowed. Refer to the specific sport relative to length of preview and when it may be scheduled. 22.2) A preview may be scheduled and played only during the period of time beginning with the Friday before the season begins and ending with the date of the first regular season contest of the teams involved. A preview does not count in the won/lost record. 22.3) When a preview is scheduled, admission may be charged. 23. Athletic Contest Any type of athletic activity involving participants from a member school and another school, or non-interscholastic team or individuals including organized adults. Such activity is categorized as a game, meet, match, preview, or scrimmage. A practice involving two or more school squads is also an athletic contest. A game, meet or match must follow the rules as written in the game rules adopted by the Board of Directors. Athletic contests may be scheduled and conducted only during the time periods as specified in the individual sport regulations.

1.5) Previews — A preview may not exceed one half of the regular season contest for any one athlete (three one-minute periods) or team and shall be wrestled according to National Federation Wrestling Rules.
So, can you wrestle a 1-1-1 match - the individual "preview" limitation - in a 3 hour time limit? I'm certain you could, but why would you when you could "scrimmage" - a mutli-team practice with instruction by coaches up to three hours as noted above? Also, per Central District Coaches Association's website - did your participating All-star take away your "team" preview options? Read Wrestling Reg 1.5 without the phrase in parenthesis "1.5) Previews — A preview may not exceed one half of the regular season contest for any one athlete (three one-minute periods) or team and shall be wrestled according to National Federation Wrestling Rules. So did Central District Coaches Association get the statement of the rule correct?
