The remote weigh deal is a little weird. It is supposed to eliminate having to spend the night at the tournament location. If you weigh in at 7:30 pm I guess it lets you leave later to drive to the Wichita area. It does not accomodate allowing you to leave the next morning. If you are going to be in Towanda at 8am ready to wrestle you would have to get up REALLY early in the morning to make it from anywhere in any District other than 2 or 3. If you are wrestling freestyle only the remote weigh is not an option so you still have to be on-site Saturday morning. I am just trying to figure out the logic. Bottom line it really does NOT alleviate an overnight stay or help out Freestyle only wrestlers.
I agree with you on this. I think it might help encourage a few more entries if the tournament was started at a time that more reasonably allows wrestlers from other areas of the state to drive to the tournament location the day of the tournament and still be able to wrestle both greco and freestyle.
I do like having the later freestyle only weigh-in time. You could reasonably drive up from the KC area to Towanda to make that weigh in Saturday if you just wanted to wrestle freestyle. I am not sure if it would be fair to allow night before satelitte weigh in for the freestyle only wrestlers. Would it be giving them an advantage over those wrestling both greco and freestyle if you allowed the freestyle only wrestlers to make their weight the night before which could be about 18 hours before they had to wrestle?
