I know at our tournament back in December, we were strict with the Open kids and gave up to .4 for the Novice kids. Right or wrong, the Open kids should know that making weight is part of the sport whereas the novice kids are still learning the sport. We took a little flak on this position from a few of the clubs but once our position was explained everything was smoothed over. Now in February for our first year wrestlers Novice Championship, we were strict again for all of the Novice wrestlers in regards to making weight. This change in stance on not giving any leeway for Novice kids was due to the nature of the event and the fact that it was pretty much one of the last Novice tournaments of the year for the novice kids. And these kids need to know that making weight is part of the sport by this time in the season.
Back to the question of not trusting adult administrators for home weigh-ins. It has been my experience in the past that there are a couple of clubs ( I won't mention any of them here ) that have brought a few overweight kids late to the weigh-in procedure hoping that they would get a pass so the tournament can start in a timely fashion. This is why I am skeptical on trusting adult administrators to be honest in home weigh-ins.
