8.5.3.2 - I suppose for us heavyweights, 4% would be a sizable slop factor.

=====================

8.5.3 Each rider riding for weight division points may be weighed at any
ride.

8.5.3.1 Any other rider has the right to challenge the weight of a
competitor and request a weighing.

8.5.3.2 Management must exercise reasonable discretion in making allowances
for normal weight loss of rider during competition and inaccuracy of ride
scales. (A 4% allowance applied evenly to all competitors would be
reasonable.)

John,

Isn't there a "slop" factor of so many percent to take into account such
things as weight loss during the ride, inaccurate scales at ride sites,
etc.?  I think there is but too lazy to look it up:-).
