In Response To: Re: Idea for rule change...... (Dan Gaudreau)

"Then that would defeat the 2 hour weigh in rule. Because of records the meet must start (or posted start time) 2 hours after weigh-in starts. Most meets I have been involved with take into consideration the needs of the lifter and if the start time needs to be pushed back 15 or 20 minutes then that is done. (Especially on the local level.)"

Dan,
That is the exactly the point we are making. The posted start time is almost impossible to make given the current format.

Therefore, the 2 hour rule is already defeated if the start time has to be push back 15-20 minutes.

What we are suggesting is to make "legal" what is already being done out of necessity.
