DRules
- Enter what the scale shows. No rounding. No helping anyone make weight.
- Don’t argue weight class. Send all class-change questions to the event manager.
- Tick the paper roster too. Every saved wrestler gets a check — your backup if wifi drops.
- No coaching, no negotiating. “Sorry, I just enter what the scale shows” is a complete answer.
