The sport of wrestling is a true investment. Time, emotion, and yes, money.
I think remote weigh ins (RWI) have a lot of positives and the negatives can be managed.
I think RWI would also help people travel to tournaments that they would usually not go to.
I also hear that there is a lack of good officals in KS.
Remote weigh ins could help with all of this.
If a CLUB was to charge the parents $2-$5 bucks each to pay a ref to oversee a weigh in. Then they would save lots of gas money and time. More then one club could go in together and pay even less.
A ref could make some good (easy) money on a friday night.
I heard people say we question refs during matches and why not at a weigh in. Well the numbers on a scale are a lot less subjective then the question of did he have control. lol
I have also heard of clubs allowing teams to have a supervised home weigh in in exchange for table workers!!!
I think there needs to be weigh ins no matter how close the weight classes are.
Well I am done rambling and doing all this typing on my phone!
Let's help move this sport forward and get this practice of RWI perfected and start using it to help grow our sport!
