MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL HAVE THE SAME ONE, SO THERE'S NO DISCREPANCIES AT TOURNAMENTS???
The reason we split hairs at tourneys, is because of simple math, Gentlemen. On a tenth scale, 3.3g doesn't turn into 3.4g until it reaches 3.35g or more. THAT is .05g over the limit of 3.300. Over is over, and being over is not fair to everyone else that came in at 3.3000.
Granted I would love to see the 2 different weight classes at more events, 3.5g and 4.5g, (<<<=== I just started another war!!!  ), but for now 3.300 is the limit.

Jimbo,
I understand math and how the tenth gram scale works. But splitting hairs is splitting hairs. You still missed the point that there is a 3 to 4 hundreths difference between hundreths scales. Therefore you are subject to still being considered over EVEN if you weigh at home with a hundreth scale. As good of a coach

as you are you know that 4 hundreths of a gram will not cause you to lose.
