Athletes register at a stated weight and are placed in the matching weight class. Weigh-ins happen day-of, at the event, at the official scale.
An allowance of one pound over the stated class is permitted. Coming in over the allowance is a missed-weight disqualification, unless event staff, in the narrow band the published standard permits, allow the athlete through or approve a move to the next weight class.
The reading at the official scale is the reading. Home scales, gym scales, and earlier readings do not count. Every weigh-in decision is made by event staff and is final.
There is no refund for a missed-weight disqualification. For all other refund situations, see the refund policy.
