VETERANS AGE/WEIGHT CATEGORIES; WEIGH IN, POINTS
VETERANS WEIGHT DIVISIONS TO BE CONTESTED:
Novice Category (NOT a USA Judo point event): Weights will be Light, Medium, Heavy
Championship Category: A weight division is defined as over the next lower weight division and up to and including the weight division number. Example: Male 73 kg means over 66 kg up to and including 73kg.
Males:
60 kg, 66 kg, 73 kg, 81 kg, 90 kg, 100 kg, +100 kg
Females:
48 kg, 52 kg, 57 kg, 63 kg, 70 kg, 78 kg, +78 kg
Declaration of Weight: Veteran athletes must make a preliminary declaration of weight on their entry form or at Registration/Check-in. However, the athlete’s measured weight at weigh-in will determine the competition division.
Naked weigh-in is no longer allowed for any category. To compensate, 0.1kg will be allowed. For example, in the 66kg category, the limit will be 66.1kg. This is a clothing allowance only and the 0.1kg will only be added to the true weight.
Weigh-in: Competitors will not be allowed to check their weight on official scale during weigh-in times; however, an unofficial scale will be available for the purpose of checking weight outside of the weigh in room during official weigh-in times. At OFFICIAL WEIGH-IN, athletes must present their tournament-issued identification card AND a photo ID/Passport.
Points and Exhibition Matches: For USA athletes in the Veterans Championship category, points on the USA Judo national rosters will be awarded in accordance with the current USA Judo point system. It is the policy of USA Judo that competitors will get their medal and points for an uncontested division. In addition, divisions may be combined FOR EXHIBITION PURPOSES ONLY. A meeting will be held at TOURNAMENT SITE (time and location will be announced) prior to the day of competition to discuss creating these divisions. All competitors must be present and consent to these changes.
