Egg:
Thanks for making my point about the drinking laws --- laws/rules change and we have to change with them.
As for the method of fat testing, we have a Tanita scale that measures body fat, but our PA perfers his calipers. And honestly the difference in the readings is so small, it's not worth mentioning.
As for the question about kids who come in below 7 percent, what they weight that day is their weight. Period. There is no provision -- short of a waiver -- for letting them go lower.
One thing I would like to add; I don't know how many people who are claiming that they -- or their kids -- are starting the season at seven percent or below, but I'm guessing they're guessing and have really been checked. I talked to a lot of my berthern up here, and the number of kids who were already at (or below) seven percent was extremely low. I only personally know of one kid and he was an 88-pound 103 pounder. My point is that I really think once you start testing for real, you're going to find that the number of kids who'd have this problem is pretty low -- certainly not
enough to make exceptions for.
