THERE IS NO BYLAW that states that a District cannot have a remote or satellite weigh in.
Rule 4-5-1 & 4-5-3 All sanctioned tournaments will hold a weigh in. The weigh in procedures shall be determined by the tournament director. All participants shall have the opportunity to weigh in at the same time. No weigh in shall be prior to twenty four (24) hours before the published tournament start time. However, a novice only tournament
wrestled on Sunday may conduct its weigh in up to forty eight (48) hours before
the published tournament start time Wrestlers shall wear a competition style
singlet at weigh-in.
SEEDING MEETINGS Each district will establish a deadline, 10 days prior to the initial qualifying tournament in each District after which no additional entries may be made without paying a penalty fee of $50. At the seeding meeting, weight or age corrections or scratches may be made in all age groups, including walk-on wrestlers, prior to the start of seeding the wrestlers without requiring a penalty fee.
Additional entries may be made in writing one hour prior to the published start time of the seeding meeting, but any such entrant must pay a penalty fee. Once the seeding starts, no changes, or additions will be allowed except in the case of clerical errors by the tournament director.
5. Entry Fees for the qualifying tournaments and state tournament will be set each year by the State Body.
6. The District State Director and his/her two Assistant State Directors will determine the number of qualifiers from Sub-District to District. Each District will have this responsibility.
As you can clearly see, the District Director has the autonomy to determine weigh-in process without a Bylaw change. THERE IS NO BYLAW stating that on-site weigh-ins are mandatory. Below you will see that Dist 2 & 3 have the right to allow additional entries up to one hour before their seeding meetings which will be conducted the morning of the tournament. If a sub is not required then the District tournament becomes the initial qualifier. Past practice does NOT mean that it is clearly stated in the bylaws.
DannyB, yes you can have remote weigh-ins. Up to your District and tournament director.
