If everyone wants satellite weigh ins it can be accomodated NEXT year. Simply write up a proposal and email (as well as mail) it to Matt Treaster. You just need to cover all of the details on how it will be done. The schedule has to be consistent, certified official, certified scale, etc. It was NOT defined this year and if you want a state tournament series to be credible you have to have standardization and consistency. That is the only fair way to operate a series. If your proposal is credible and supported by 2/3 of the state body then next year we will have satellite weigh ins for state. We cannot just change the rules at the last minute this year. Sorry.

Not changing the rules, as Mr. Cokeley has stated, "no where in the By-Laws does it state that we have to weigh in on-site", however it does state that we will have two qualifing tournaments before State. Like you just said, qualifing series have to be standardized and consistant. They are NOT this year (2014)! Remotes will never happen, people are to scared of cheaters. Then you go to seeding meetings, you find kids that are ranked AA (State Placer) and they didn't make it to HS State 2 weeks before that seeding meeting and when you look back at their profile they haven't placed at State.
