There was a big push this year at the State level to standardize the qualifying series of tournaments. In the past these decisions were made at the District level. However, when done with the latitude and common since discussed in this thread the trade off is that each District is operating on its own standard. The thought was that because these tournaments are all part of the same qualifying series they needed to be run in a similar manner. Under the old method kids in District X may have been allowed to sign up late at the seeding meeting while kids in District Y had to have their entrees in 10 days prior to the event. This year the State has mandated that all districts operate under the 10-day rule. All entrees had to be in 10 days prior to the event; this year that was Wednesday-March 5 at midnight. This date and time was distributed through all of the clubs from your State and District administration. Under this plan changes to a wrestler’s age and/or weight could be made up until the seeding meeting started. That is why you saw the movement in weight classes. That is not a new phenomenon. These types of changes have been allowed in the past, but with trackwrestling they were just more transparent this year. I hope this helps to clarify.
