They should have been weighing after every round. Its always a good idea to stop at the scales even if you lose, you never know if your competitor might be underweight, and hand you the round on a platter, and of course, weight is good data for your logbook.
How did they handle the heads up runs? There is a obvious advantage to knowing you will not get weighed and running under.
Maybe their scale broke.

I questioned the officials why they didn't weigh him???? They actually weren't weighing anybody after the first round, which I found quite odd. I'm sure my competitor knew this and quite possibly took advantage!!! I will never know, but I kind of felt cheated.
