The Weight in system will be the same used in the Worlds and Pan American, the athlete will check the weight after the official call for his first fight, minutes before he steps on the mat, the competitor can check the weight only once, if the competitor exceed the weight class by 1lbs, we will move the athlete to the next division above. However if exceeds more than 1lbs the athlete will be immediately disqualified. Make sure you're in the correct weight division, there will be no refund on the fee.
We will have scale outside the warm up area, so you can check your weight
