I think clubs doing their own weigh ins! Dose it realy matter if they cheat on the smaller turnamets.What matters is the state and the few big ones out there.I have helped at the scales a few times,there has been many times kids go in just slightly over.Just like every thing in life some of us do all we can right,some dont.I think saving the cash and getting a few more kids in there with my son is what it is about.
I do know I teach my son the way it should be.If you are over you are over.I think it will just make him a better man.

We have done home weigh ins for novice tournaments and I'm ok with that. Cause there are more important things then a novice kid being a few tenths over.
I too have ran the scales a lot and I have a bitter taste in my mouth cause of the the stuff I have seen people and clubs try to pull.

But at the end of the day I love satellite weigh ins and if your interested in being a host site for our Haysville tournament please PM me!

Does it matter if the points are only right at State? Club Coaches need to assist the wrestlers in appropriate weight management throughout the season. If the kid is overweight MOVE him up! What does this truly teach children? It only matters on the big stage? Who's fudging who? Honesty is always the fairest policy. Remote weigh-ins are terrific but evaluate the kids trend -- does the kid only "move up" when there is on-site weigh-in? CRB sounds like you've got the integrity part down & teaching your son correctly. All in all -- it is what it is.


In it to win it.

Just for the record I will be able to drive 8 minutes round trip instead of 2 hours and 30 minutes round trip tonight.

Remote weigh in just saved me money and time.

i think that the satellite weigh ins are what you make of them. some people save money, some people save time, some people get piece of mind, for some it's something to do on friday night. it is what it is. i don't think that anyone offering satellite weigh ins has ever made a promise of any of the above, but it is what you make of it.
