Until the coach decides to enter that the wrestler has been given parental permission.Has to be posted before kid competes at his/her minimum wt.JMO i would think most kids would be trying to wrestle their min wt at the holiday tournaments.

From the WIAA regulations:

(6) Growth Allowance
Growth allowance will be two pounds on December 25, and one additional pound on both February 1 and March 1.
Note: A wrestler IS NOT eligible for a weight class because of growth allowance and/or allowances for
successive days wrestling, which bring a weight class up to their 7% minimum weight.
Note: Any time a contestant obtains a new minimum weight calculation (via special re-weigh or appeal)
after December 25, the wrestler must make scratch weight at their minimum weight one time to
qualify for the growth allowance at that weight.
