The weigh-in is the first major event of the Imperial League calendar, and our first real chance to get a look at dragons and riders as they'll be on the perches at the Palace next weekend. Officially the weigh-in is on Friday, but the event has become much more than just its formal requirements. Every team will be at the Imperial City, and there'll be press conferences, interviews, meetings, and all sorts of intrigue and dealmaking behind the scenes.
It's easy to read too much into some of this – a few years ago we all got suckered into believing that Feran Andoal had struck a deal to replace Arden Markwe at Hermeia because of one blogger's elaborate conspiracy theory about which riders lunched with which managers at the airport on the way home. Still, there are things we'll be able to glean from the events. Here are a few of the big things to look out for.
