Default RE: Judging Question

Why if found over weight on one flight is the pilot DQ'd from the entire contest.
Perhaps because it would indicate that something had been changed on the model subsequent to the initial weigh-in?

I have heard or read that some pilots who fly glow have put extra-large fuel tanks in their models so they can add fuel as ballast for windy conditions. Since the models are weighed without fuel, this would seem to make sense.
