Randy, Jason, Will and anyone else familiar with matside weigh-ins I am curious of a few things.

I can’t help think this would be a logistic nightmare. Using Derby as an example, we had 12 mats, we do not have 12 scales available and to borrow these would add just another thing to the list. Should we share scales between mats, wouldn’t this delay matches? And what happens when someone doesn’t make it? Do they forfeit just that match or are they scratched out of the tourney? Doesn't this also create a problem with warm ups for the competitor and the matches following? I am not against it just not familiar with the flow of the tournament utilizing it.

Randy, I would agree with you that the emphasis should be on wrestling not the weight and again not being familiar with grouping kids together in a folkstyle tourney, only the laid back-smaller freestyle tournaments, I am curious how much this would delay the start of the tourney considering the bracket preparation. I guess this could be done with Friday night weigh-ins also.

IMO, the perfect tourney is as follows.

Everyone remotely weighs-ins Friday night (supervised) thus minimizing the time and expense. Everyone makes weight or realizes they need to move up. No one cheats, tries to switch or manipulates the system.
Brackets are prepared Friday night and released asap via trackwrestling or otherwise.
The tourney starts on time.
The tourney allows double entries, wrestling up etc.
The tourney ends at a reasonable time.
Oh and lastly, the bathrooms are clean with adequate paper products.
