Chief,
There was nothing wrong with the scales. All the kids used the same scales. I was helping to run weigh-ins. Kids have to learn that drinking water in the shower or where ever puts on weight.
BAD TOPIC TO START. 14 kids did not make weight. If you leave 1 pound over the night before and come back the next morning 3 over - you definitely shoved something in your mouth. Several other kids did not make weight the first night - came back the next morning and did the job. Made weight - PERIOD. Some did not.
Some of the kids changed their weight before the seeding meeting and shouldn't have. End of this discussion. A few of us in the weigh-in room were call BLANKEEDY BLEEP, BLANK. One kid's mother said her son had 4 hotdogs, pizza, drinks etc. And it still was my fault her boy did not make weight and she said "you BLANKEEDY BLEEP, BLANK." Well the words were a little different - but you get the picture. Make weight boys or go out for golf.
