What documentation must a coach provide to “prove” that a wrestler is eligible at a specific weight?
A. A coach must have the Optimum performance calculator weigh-in sheet found on the NWCA website. Coaches must generate a weigh in form. Q. 7. A wrestler had an Alpha Body Weight (initial assessment) of 186.1 on November 22. His projected lowest weight is 169.30 on January 3. He is permitted to lose 2.8 pounds per week (1.5%). On December 6 his weight loss plan shows that he can weigh 180.5 lbs. (189 pound class). What happens if he weights less than that, say 179.5 pounds? A. The wrestler is eligible to participate in the 189 pound weight class. He remains eligible in the 189 pound class as his weight descends and CANNOT wrestle in the next lower weight class until his plan allows it.
