Question: I know that scales need to be certified, but have not found the specific rules governing by who, how often.
Question 2: What if there is a difference, example, and yes happened to my son. Our home scale had him under by 3 tenths of a pound, he got to the tournament and the scale there said he was even, 15 mins later at the weigh in- he was 3 tenths over. I know everyone is going to say he drank something. This kid cuts weight like it is his job. he knows how much everything weighs. besides he was with the coach the entire time. Anyway, it was a two day tourney, so we brought our scale with us. After the fact we put our scale (certified in Nov by county auditor) beside the tourney scale (certified in July) and ther was a 1/2 lb or 5 tenths difference.
Anyone know what the options are in this situation, can you challenge a scale?
Just curious, I have never experienced such a variance before.
