INFORMATION FOR COMPETITORS
Schedule:
Weigh-in
24 hours before your flight commences.
Location: SMU
Q: What happens if I cannot make weight?
A: You will compete with the same flight that you are registered in but categorized in the higher weight class, and will not be eligible for prizes in the higher weight class.
Eg. I'm supposed to be in the U82.5kg weight class, but I weigh in at 84kg. I will thus compete in the U90kg weight class, but in the same flight as the U82.5kg competitors, and I am not eligible for any prizes in the U90kg weight class.
(Our rationale for this is because the lower/higher weight class might have already competed and prizes awarded, so we cannot possibly allow you to compete in their weight class and usurp the prize already awarded to the winners.)
Q: Can I change my weight class?
A: Yes. Please inform us by 2359 on 31 July 2015. After this deadline, there will be no changes in weight class allowed.
Q: Can I weigh in on the morning of the meet?
A: Yes.
Q: What is the latest I can weigh-in?
A: Right up till your flight commences, ie. before the squat.
