I am new to this, only my second year to have a kid wrestle. From what I see, several tournies only have Friday night weigh-ins, and at $3 a gallon, a double trip or a hotel room every weekend could get pretty expensive. I know that we would not be able to patronize all the tournies we have if it were not for sattelite weigh-ins, and that hurts the hosting club. From what i've seen so far, the tournies that have Friday weigh-ins do seem to get rolling a little quicker in the mornings,which is the point of doing it. I do agree that there is the possibility for cheating, but from what I see "most" of the parents are honest and as you all have said, if they cheat, it will catch up to them eventually. Cheating weight will hurt the kid more than wrestling up IMHO.
