Will - District II tried this in years past and was shut down promptly. I also know it was brought up at a State meeting the following year and was voted down.
There has never been a proposal to modify the Bylaws to eliminate the Director's control over weigh ins. Please feel free to find where it states we must perform an on site weigh in. I simply scanned through the Bylaws quickly when all of this went down. It is a tedious process because we have pages of language that is painfully detailed regarding discipline and special needs but only a few paragraphs outlining the procedures for qualifying tournaments.
It doesn't state on site weigh ins, but it has always been understood, and EVERYONE has followed the general protocol. Satellites where brought up at State meeting and shot down, mainly D1 didn't want them. Not saying it's their fault. Here is the problem, Kansas wrestling had an issue this year, RMN, district reps didn't want Kansas kids to miss out on neither RMN or Kansas State Qualifiers, so they made an exception to the rules at the last minute. Right or wrong, it only helps the RMN guys. Quit saying "trying to save everyone money" instead pass a satellite weigh in rule, that saves the whole State money not just a few. But do it at State Body meeting not right before qualifying series starts.
