It happened at Cascade this weekend. We hosted an 8 team 5 way dual meet. We only have one scale. Not one of the participating teams brought any of their scales as they have in the past. We had asked one team to bring a scale but they forgot it.
Long story short Cascade's scale was certified and has a sticker and supporting paperwork stating so, but we found out last weekend it was a bit heavy in comparisons to others. Once all the teams arrived it was apparent that many wrestlers on each team were going to miss weight. Of course our guys were on weight because we knew no difference, it was our scale. The referees decided to weigh in all wrestlers and discuss at the coaches meeting. With many coaches upset about the situation and threatening to leave, the referees offered the solution of a 1 lbs weight allowance. Everyone agreed, so we moved on and wrestled the duals.
But you are right, I am curious as to what the duals say about this situation.
most kids were .5 to .9 over.
