My prediction is that we will start to see remote weighs-ins in KS and I think it will be a positive change for everyone. I love the idea of making it easier for families to attend tournaments, committing less time and less dollars and believe remote weighs-ins will allow for this. The benefits do outweigh the negatives but I also think with a little effort the negatives can be mitigated even more. I would definitely support remote weigh-ins with a certified official or District Rep present. Being consistent in our approach with this is also critical and believe the state could help in this area. To date I believe there are several reason why remote weigh-ins haven�t been utilized: being a new concept for KS, giving up some of the control, making their weigh-in practices public!!, and logistics of conducting it.

The move in that direction is happening. I would be interested in the state�s input on this. Ned, Richard etc. can you provide any thoughts on this and the state�s possible role.
