It's the thread you know you needed: 12 weights

No

See small teams the kids in many cases are bunched up around the same weights. HS kids have an average size. In many small programs the athletes are e in those weights so they get bunched up. If you remove one or two weights the spread becomes wider. Harder to make weight. One side or the other. That concerns me. The lower number of weight classes will not change who the top teams are. They are champs for very specific and consistent reasons. It will not bring more wrestlers into the sport. It almost seems like an attempt to "level the playing field" Won't work.
