Weigh ins are always a touchy subject. However, I think anytime we are having a discussion on improving the sport in any way, it is of benefit. I like the idea of having a weigh in that makes it easier on the parents and think Lateral Drop is on the right path by having someone there to monitor. How about this - The tournament director contacts specific clubs to host regional weigh ins on Friday before their tourney. If you let everyone have one, it would be too hard to track. The regional weigh in sites are required to have, at a minimum, two certified coaches from two different clubs there for all weigh ins. All the remote sites host the weigh ins for a specific duration, which would be the same as the host tournament site. I think this type of remote weigh in could work and would be very popular for parents, particularly if they can save some gas money and/or hotel money from Friday night.
