Is pinching the tail to measure legal in tournies?

Kevin,
I see your thread on weighing the fish and measuring, but all the tournaments I've been in , the officials don't allow you to pinch the tail..
Can anyone out there tell me if they are or not allowed to do this at weigh in time? I know the North eastern federation that I fished in never allowed this during the 90s..does the FLW or any other group you fellow anglers allow this? It's no biggie to me, as long as we have consistancy in all weights and measures during the forum contest,
just curious..
I have seen it done in redfish and other species type tournies, just haven't come across it personally.
