WEIGH-INS

An athlete competing in three styles may weigh in once for all styles. This is contingent on the athlete actively competing in the first two of three wrestling styles scheduled. An athlete competing in two styles may weigh in once for both styles. This is contingent on the athlete competing in the first style and the styles being on consecutive days. If the two styles are not on consecutive days the athlete must weigh in twice, once for each style. Athletes competing in one style must weigh in at the official weigh in for that style. All athletes must be present at BEGINNING of weigh-ins.

Each athlete will be allowed two (2) consecutive attempts to make weight and may not leave the weigh-in area. All wrestlers must be dressed in a COMPETITION SINGLET for weigh-ins and no weight allowance is given for the singlet.

INJURIES

In the event of injury or illness, NO contestant will be permitted to continue the competition without approval of the Chief Medical Officer, whose decision is final and not subject to appeal.
