I don't think there should be any weight allowances. And i'm pretty sure it is at the tournament directors discretion. The Kansas modifications actually say no weight allowances and wrestlers shall not be permitted to wrestle at a higher age group. So which rule do you go by. kids wrestle Saturday-Sunday tournaments all the time and don't get weight allowances unless the tournament director decides to. I think if 1 kid gets a pound, all kids get a pound.
