Last fall we added to digital weight management to Takedown Scoring and Stats. Developed in partnership with Befour, a leading wrestling scale manufacturer, this new feature enabled paperless weight capture — either manually or via Befour’s bluetooth scale — and a variety of reports and graphs for tracking athlete weight.
During this past high school season (2018-2019), more than 150 schools used this feature to record 17,000+ weigh-ins. Of these weigh-ins, 75% were recorded wirelessly using Befour’s bluetooth scale.
Top five states for digital weight management:
Virginia
Ohio
Wisconsin
California
Pennsylvania
And the top ten programs:
Chantilly, Virginia
Frederick High School, Maryland
Saginaw Heritage, Michigan
Middletown, New York
Chilton High School, Wisconsin
Garden City High School, Kansas
Kirtland High School, Ohio
Palo Alto High School, California
Sulphur, Oklahoma
Revere High School, Ohio
This is an exciting and encouraging start for this new-to-wrestling capability. We will continue working with our partner, Befour, to enhance this feature and promote its adoption throughout the wrestling community.
