All wrestlers must be certified by, January 8. Each eligible squad member must establish a weight classification which becomes the certified weight any weight that the wrestler has wrestled in a meet prior to or on January 8 may be the certified weight.

Exception 1:  A wrestler that was academically ineligible during the weight certification period may be certified once eligibility has been established.

Exception 2: A wrestler that was injured during the weight certification period may be certified once released by the attending physician that indicates the date(s) of the wrestler’s incapacitation.

Note: No one may certify their weight, for any reason, after the independent competition cut-off tournament cut-off date. Anyone not certified by that date is ineligible for OHSAA tournament competition.

After certifying, no wrestler may participate in either a regular season or OHSAA tournament match in a weight class below the certified weight.

Prior to establishing certified weight, a wrestler may compete in any weight classification for which the wrestler makes weight. Wrestlers may compete only in their actual weight class or one weight class above weigh-in weight.

A wrestler who weights-in more than one weight class above his certified weight (class), automatically re-certified at the higher weight.
