WEIGH INS - ALL KIDS MUST WEIGH IN, IN COMPETITION SINGLET, ALL KIDS MUST MAKE THEIR ENTERED (SCATCH) WEIGHT. THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BUMP UP A WEIGHT CLASS, MOST TOURNAMENTS SPECIFY THAT THE KIDS MAKE THEIR ENTERED WEIGHT OR DO NOT WRESTLE..


OPEN TOURNAMENTS:

USUALLY HAVE FRI NIGHT AND SAT MORNING WEIGH INS.. CHECK EACH TOURNAMENT FLYER FOR DETAILS.


NOVICE TOURNAMENTS:

MOST NOVICE TOURNAMENTS DONT UTILIZE WEIGH INS, RATHER CHECK IN TIMES ARE SPECIFIED ON THE FLYER'S. USUALLY EXACT WEIGHT IS SUBMITTED ON THE ENTRY FORM. ALTHOUGH I SEE THIS CHANGING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. EXPECT ALL KIDS TO HAVE TO WEIGH IN.
