Without a standardized process, people will screw up. "The mark looks like it's just over 39.75 pounds, so we'll just call it a 40lber."

In a perfect world, people would be honest. In a sport where recreational sizes grow exponentially based on how many times someone's told the story, add money and prizes to the mix and any shreds of honesty fly quickly out the window.

Ditto to all the above and more.
