Please post the proposal in its entirety so that it can be evaluated by the general membership.
Jeff, basically the proposal is to eliminate the 16U division and call it "High School". The weight classes would remain the same. Freshmen would NOT be able to compete in 14U. This proposal would NOT increase the size of the state tournament but would offer and opportunity to fill the brackets at subs with high school wrestlers who were previously ineligible because of their age. It would purify the 14U to include only "kids" not high schoolers. The spirit of the proposal was to give more high school kids the OPPORTUNITY to wrestle. The proposal was nit picked today as discussion of the language in the proposal went down the path of "only those who were competing in high school which led to questions of students in good standing, etc.
The issue that is causing this thread to be of such great length is the interpretation of the by laws and when they can be amended, when the amendments become effective, and so forth.
