18. Weigh-in:

All athletes must weigh-in for all weight divisions the afternoon prior to competition, on 11th April, 2015. See schedule of events for times.

Scales for unofficial weight control for competitors will be available from April 9th (see notice at Registration to identify their exact location and times of availability). Official weigh-in rules are as follows:

Registration will issue competitors with an Accreditation Card which they must take with them and show to the officials at the weigh-in. A competitor must also be able to provide proof of his/her identity by presenting their current passport or a current National I.D. Card for review by the officials at the weigh-in.

If a competitor cannot fulfill the weight requirements for the weight category that they entered he/she will be permitted to compete in an appropriate higher weight division at the discretion of the event organizer (however Category Combining may apply to any particular age/weight division). Competitors presenting themselves after the closing of the official weigh-in will not be allowed to participate in the competition.

19. Division Combining:

5

A Technical Official from the Oceania Judo Union will delegate responsibility to a suitable individual who represents the Host Organization in order to oversee the operation of the Division Combining policy. This policy applies only to individual competitors.

Only weight categories with three or less entries may be subject to Division Combining. However in the case of only three entries if it is not possible to achieve Division Combining safely and according to the Guidelines then a pool of three elimination system will be considered.

In the case of two entries, the final result will be the best of three contests.

a) Combining within the same age division;

Players should remain within their age division if possible.

b) Combining using weight divisions;

Weight division– competitors may only be combined with other competitors who are no more than one weight division lighter or one weight division heavier. Special consideration should be given to the actual weight differences when dealing with the lightest and the heaviest female and male divisions (as a guideline a maximum of 10kg actual difference when combining the lightest weight division and a maximum of 20kg actual difference when combining the heaviest weight division should be considered as a limit unless there are other compensatory factors such as experience etc.).

Weight should be the primary consideration when moving players about within their own age division or combining them with other age divisions in accordance with the age division guidelines below.

c) Age divisions;

Competitors in age divisions M7 or F7 and above (for example M8/F8. M9/F9 etc.) may only be combined with other competitors who are no more than one age division higher or more than one age division lower ie competitors in M7/F7 may only be combined with competitors from M6/F6 or M8/F8.
