Advertising: Competitors may carry on the back of their jacket the IJF and organizer dedicated sponsors of the event. Advertising on the judogi must be in compliance with the IJF regulations. Refer to Guidance of Judogi Control Document.
National Emblem: Athletes can have their national emblem on the left front part of the jacket within a space of 100cm2. The Judogi Control will be done at the Registration of the Participants. 16.

Scales for unofficial weight control for competitors will be available from April 7th (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: 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.
