We had this question at our tourney a few years back...

Here is my understanding. It is allowable to wrestle up in age ***except in Qualifying Tournaments.

The rules below are for QUALIFYING TOURNAMENTS!! ***Rule 4.

Rules Modifications for Qualifying Tournaments

Qualifying tournaments are subject to all sanctioned tournament modifications, except where those rules have been modified or expanded below.
Rule 2 The safety mat area defined in modified Rule 2-1-2 must be kept clear at all times, except for two coaches per wrestler. Only coaches with copper or bronze level coaches’ cards will be allowed at mat side.
Rule 3 The referee’s uniform is mandatory. All referees must be both High School and Kids certified.
Rule 4 No additional age or weight classes are allowed. At no time will a wrestler be permitted to wrestle out of their age division unless it is specifically stated in these standing rules.
There shall be no weight allowances given.
Rule 6 The first period in all consolation matches will be one minute.
Rule 10 In the event of a bracket with three or four wrestlers, there will be a round robin. In the event of a two-man bracket they will wrestle the best two out of three matches.
