Some leagues have weigh-in before the game, and yes, they do bring a scale to the field. Other organiz'ns have weigh-in only once a year, at registr'n.

Perhaps. But we aren't there at the weigh-in. And we aren't there when the tape is (or is not) put on the helmet. If the coach wants to cheat and not put a sticker on the helmet of a big kid, I'm not going to pull out a scale on the field and weight the kid. We can only enforce what we see. And if we see a kid running with no tape/sticker on the helmet and he's bowling people over....shrug.
