Default Scale question

Coaches,

When a base or figure is weighted, what is the acceptable wieght on the scale for the number accepted in your league.
Let's say that the weight for the item is 2.2, and you have a scale that only weighs 2.2, than 2.3 would be over. Now if you have a scale that gives a closer measurement like 2.21 or 2.27 then how will your league measure the base ?
Do you have a standard scale ? Some scales can measure very, very small differences.
If you have a standard scale that measures only to 2.2, what happens if you get to the game and the scale being used is more accurate and you now have to cut to make weight?
The two questions are:

Do you use a standardized scale in your league or tournament ?
Which is the following is used to determine overweight if using a more defined scale ?

2.25>>
>>>2.25
>>>2.256
2.26
2.21
2.20
2.29

With new bases being used, it takes time to weigh them in and then it is tough to see your bases cut up when you could prepare them in advance. It slows down the check in process at tournaments.
