Chiming in from Shanghai...

I talked to James earlier. Richard seems to think that this change was needed. We have been using the same weigh in time for four years and it hasn't been a problem. I understand where he is coming from but if he had a problem with it he should have waited until next year to voice his opinion instead of the week before the tournament. We have published the flyers and arrangements have been made. USAWKS has NEVER raised and issue with our weigh in being 24.5 to 25 hours before the tournament.

James has the last say on this and I will support his decision but I think Richard has manhandled this...
