Nevada Weight Management, highlighted changes for the 2007-2008 season

1.      The Nevada high school wrestler receives a two (2)-pound weight allowance after January 1^st and after a scratch weigh-in has been established at an NIAA-sanctioned event (in-state meets only) for a minimum weight class.

2.      The experimental rule from 2006-2007 not allowing wrestlers to shake hands with an opposing coach until the conclusion of the event (meet, tournament, etc.) has been dropped. The wrestler will now be permitted to shake hands with an opposing coach after the conclusion of the individual’s match.

3.      The Nevada high school wrestling coaches dress code requires that coaches dress in long dress pants (no jeans) and a school-issued collared shirt or dress shirt and tie for all sessions of post-season (league, region, state) events.

4.      The wrestler will have a 2.5% allowance for weight gain from their lowest eligible weight class. When a weigh-in is over the 2.5% allowance, the wrestler will automatically be re-started on a new weight loss plan using the date and weight of the weigh-in as the starting point. (SEE LETTER TO COACHES IN REGARDS TO THIS RULE CHANGE)

5.      Coaches must use the pre-match weigh-in sheet available on the NWCA web site for weigh-ins at all contests. Alpha Master forms must be available on-site for challenges. The on-site official will verify and sign each coach’s copy of the weigh-in form.
