	Weight classes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weight classes are divisions of competition used to match competitors against others of their own size.
		Weight classes are used in a variety of sports, especially combat sports (such as boxing, judo, wrestling, and mixed martial arts).
		It is generally considered an advantage to be the largest individual in a weight division, therefore some athletes will work hard to lose weight through dieting and dehydration prior to weigh-ins.

		Weight classes and weigh-ins are a part of the sport to ensure competition between individuals of similar weights.
		The NCAA weight management rules were implemented to ensure that individuals compete against opponents of similar weight and that this weight is achieved and maintained in an appropriate manner throughout the season.
		Before you wrestle at your certified weight, you must complete Section II by passing specific gravity and weighing-in at scratch weight for the weight class at which you would like to compete for the rest of the year.

	Weight Loss -- An Athletes Perspective - The Amateur Wrestler - A Place for Real Wrestlers
		The practice of wrestlers dehydrating themselves to make a certain weight class has been around as long as can be remembered, yet no one that I consulted has ever heard a of a wrestler dying until the three US cases.
		Young wrestlers who are still learning how to wrestle should not be dehydrating themselves to make a weight class, but rather, should focus their energy on developing their wrestling techniques, learning how to compete, and enjoying the sport of wrestling.
		Ultimately, both wrestlers and coaches should keep in mind that cutting weight is intended to help competitors compete at their optimum weight class and not to be an overwhelming practice which detracts from peak performance or puts a wrestler's health at risk.

	Freestyle Wrestling Rules and Procedures
		Weight groupings are often dependent on a general rule of 2 years and 10%.
		Wrestling is contested on a mat, with a nine meter circular competition area.
		Wrestling also occurs down on the mat, known as "par terre." If no points are scored after about 45 seconds, the less agressive wrestler will be called for passivity and give up choice of position.

		Having only one hour between weigh-ins and wrestling, in conjunction with the random draw that provides an equal chance for each weight class to compete within the one-hour period, reduces the incentive to dehydrate because there is insufficient time to rehydrate.
		The purpose of the certification is to establish a permanent healthy weight class for each wrestler early in the season, eliminating the incentive for severe and rapid weight loss at the end of the season.
		In addition, should a wrestler compete at a higher weight class than his certified class after December 7, he is not permitted to return to his certified class for the remainder of the season.

		This was not the case in the last night's finals of the 2005 Commonwealth Freestyle Wrestling Championships as India won all seven weight classes against South Africa and Canada in men's Freestyle and five gold medals in women's Freestyle wrestling.
		As women's wrestling numbers at these championships were low and the gold medal matches decided, the Commonwealth Wrestling Association decided to combine wrestling weight classes to four weight classes for a friendly tournament in order that women wrestlers would get a minimum of three matches each.

		Until 215 pound class was added last year, the previous shake up in prep wrestling weight classes came 14 years ago when the 98 pound class was bumped to the current 103 and the number of weights increased by one to 13.
		The last WIAA 98-pound champions were Aric Soderbloom of Stoughton in Class A, Greg Gibbons of Arcadia in Class B and Scott Wirkus of Edgar in Class C. It wasn't until 1991 that the classes were renamed divisions.
		There may come a day when the minimum weight is increased, but for the time being the 103-pound class is here to stay and the little big-men still have a place to shine.

		I have found the class to be the most optimal learning environment since the educational process is extended and reinforced over a longer period of time and the athlete is required to demonstrate knowledge of the material covered.
		The class featuring mock interviews between athletes and agents (to prepare athletes for Agent Day) was well-received by both athletes enrolled in the class and others who voluntarily audited it.
		Considering the differences in all the lower weights, it seems only logical that a 215- or 220-pound weight class is needed in the gap between 190 pounds and 275 pounds.
