ineligable wrestlers

[spikes]

Just curious if there is any kind of discipline handed down if a wrestlers competes when not eligible? Like at districts and he actually places. Then it is found out he actually wasn't eligible to wrestle. I would also assume the coaches would of been aware of this.

Knowing the way wrestlers, teachers and students talk. It's bound to get out.

It bothered me because either way he missed weight and the kid that took4th would've advances
