What's this?

Here starting weight rule change for 19/20 and 20/21 seasons.

Immediately after the weigh-in for a dual meet or multiple dual meets conducted on the same day, coaches may mutually agree to determine the starting weight class for the matches. If coaches cannot agree on the starting eight class,they will execute a coin toss. The winner of the coin toss will have the choice to select either the starting weight class or the odd/even matches. Whichever selection is made by the coach who wins the coin toss, the opposing coach will receive the remaining option. The home team coach is responsible for notifying game management and the referee of each team’s selection. Once the first weight class is established, subsequent matches will continue in the traditional sequence of increasing weight class order.
Rationale: To equalize the opportunity to select the starting weight classification and/or odd/even matches in single dual meets.

NC State vs VT Predictions . -- hokietony 02/05/2021 2:06PM

Bolen isn't losing. He is very strong defensively -- HokieToph 02/05/2021 6:23PM

Pretty much agree. I have a bad feeling we lose one of 165 or 184. -- MC4VT 02/05/2021 2:42PM

Your scenario but with a Bolen win makes it a 16-16 tie, criteria time ** -- SimV Hokie 02/05/2021 2:32PM

Your scenario would be a punch right in the gut ... -- KCDale 02/05/2021 2:30PM

Have to think NCSU will prefer the traditional 125-pound start. ** -- dallasvt 02/05/2021 5:03PM

Who determines the starting weight? -- RJHokie 02/05/2021 5:17PM

Essentially if both of the coaches don't agree to start 125, then the start -- larhokie 02/05/2021 5:28PM

I thought someone posted on here that the visiting coach got to decide -- dallasvt 02/05/2021 5:40PM
