I like satellite weigh ins. It just makes it easy on everyone and its upped the level of competetors. For instance were wrestling at EKC open this weekend, and have a darn good bracket with kids from all over. I believe that this is due to satellites to come to KCK from Wichita and have to leave early is one thing but to have to get here by weigh ins is another. Now we have kids happy made weight still getting up early but only have to be here in time to warm and wrestle.
As for cheating on weights? I admit I've seen a couple kids and weights and wondered if they really made weight? But don't really care or let it bother me, cause its the "what ever classic" tournament. They will still have to make weight at qualifiers and state when it matters. If a club lets a kids weight slide shame on them for setting a piss poor example and Saying its OK. But I for one can't name one coach or club that would do this not one. And I think that says alot for our wrestling community. Good luck Everyone and thaks to the clubs taking time and effort to do weigh ins
