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.


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.

I am so confused, Mr. Treaster (Executive Director) says no satelite weigh-ins allowed for qualifing Tourneys, but Mr. Cokeley says there is "Nothing" in the By-Laws in a Sanctioned Tournament; Tournament/District Directors can weigh in however they want as long as it is not more than 24 hours before the posted start time of the tournament. Thanks Mr. Cokeley as I said earlier I always thought you were by the book.
