In wrestling, when a competitor fails to make weight, the established protocol typically does not allow them any opportunity to rectify their weight immediately without strict guidelines. Specifically, the rules indicate that a wrestler cannot consume food or drink, nor is there a designated break or redo of the weigh-in that would facilitate a weight change within that timeframe. Therefore, under the IHSAA regulations, if a wrestler does not make weight on their initial attempt, they do not have the option to step back on the scale after any of the options provided. Instead, they must accept the consequences of not meeting the weight standard for that event. This ensures fairness in competition and adherence to established weight classifications.
