With the slight deviation in scale readings, and the fact that the kids have to weigh in with their singlets on, I am sure a tenth of a pound is making weight. A number of years back, had my son take off his boxers and he went from .2 over to making weight. Singlets probably average .4 or .5 on a scale. I realize it is not possible for these kids to weigh in buck naked, but being .1 or .2 (or more) over in singlets and underwear does not mean they are not at weight (buck naked). I think that there should be an allowance for these articles of clothing (have someone throw 100 singlets and undershorts on a scale and take an average weight).
