Wrestlers who are overweight after their one time weigh-in on Saturday morning will not be allowed to wrestle. There will be no running, or other weight loss measures, allowed inside the wrestling facility. Required at all State Series wrestling events two certified MSHSAA wrestling officials must be present at all weigh-in sites during the Friday evening weigh-ins. The payment to these officials is not to exceed $20 per official for their Friday evening tasks. The expectation is that the officials are already there on Saturday and will not receive additional compensation. The responsibility of the officials will oversee the weigh-ins at each weigh-in location. All wrestlers will be required to weigh-in wearing only a singlet with the straps pulled down; females will be required to wear their singlet with a sports bra, or other suitable undergarment. Each wrestler will be visually checked and if a participant is suspected of having a communicable skin disease, or any other condition that may make participation inadvisable, the wrestler must provide written documentation (which must be on the current years form. The 2016-17 Skin Condition Report can be located on the MISSOURI USA WRESTLING website (linked to the MSHSAA Form), dated and signed by a physician, within 14 days of the tournament, stating that the suspected disease or condition is not communicable and that the athlete?s participation would not be harmful to their opponent. They must also have attached a doctor?s letterhead or a sheet from the doctor?s prescription pad to the skin form. Physicians defined for the skin condition report form purposes are a D.O., M.D or Nurse Practitioner. This document must be furnished at weigh-ins. Covering a communicable condition shall not be considered acceptable and does not make the wrestler eligible to participate. All suspected skin conditions must be covered at all times while the competitor is on the mat. Further, that in the event said skin condition is not covered, becomes uncovered or is not coverable, then the competitor may be required to forfeit, at the discretion of the tournament director or host official. If a wrestler shows up to wrestle without the condition covered, the wrestler will be put on one of their injury time-outs to correct the situation.
