Mat side weighing does not complicate it simplifies. They are killing our sport with all of these hydration and body fat rules. They are expensive and complicated. NO ONE can cut 10% and keep it off all day and be at the top of their game. I will tell you right now that mentally my son would be shot. The Friday night weigh-in is almost liking winning the championship for him. I am not one of those dads who says "My son doesn't cut." Ryne frequently pulls 10% for big tournaments, big tournaments that he wins. If he had to pull 10% and keep it off all day he would wilt. He will tell you right now that he hates weight cutting but he will also turn around and tell you that more the most part that is the best way to put yourself in a position to win. Mat side weighing eliminates all of the other goofy, expensive rules to control or prevent those from cutting. You cannot cheat the scale! Physically and mentally you will not be at the top of your game and if you can do it than more power to those who can. Keep it simple and inexpensive and keep it fun.
