CHAPTER 3 - COMPETITION PROCEDURE
Article 11- Weigh-In

The final list of contestants must be submitted to the organiser by the team leader, without fail, at least at 12h00 the day of the weigh-in. No changes will be accepted after this time.
For all competitions, a single weigh-in by weight category shall take place. The weigh-in for each category always takes place on the day before the beginning of the competition concerned and lasts 30 minutes.
No wrestler may be accepted at the weigh-in if he has not undergone a medical examination within the time period stipulated in the Regulations governing the competition in question. Medical examinations are always carried out 1 hour 15 minutes before the weigh-in. A period of fifteen (15) minutes between the medical examination and the weigh-in must obligatorily be followed. Wrestlers must appear at the medical examination and the weigh-in with their licence and accreditation.
The contestants will be weighed with only their singlet, after having been examined by qualified physicians who are obliged to eliminate any wrestler who presents any danger of contagious disease. No weight tolerance will be allowed for the singlet.
Contestants must be in perfect physical condition, with their fingernails cut very short.
Throughout the entire weigh-in period, wrestlers have the right, each in turn, to get on the scale as many times as they wish.
The referees responsible for the weigh-in must check that all wrestlers are of the weight corresponding to the category in which they are entered for the competition, that they fulfil all the requirements of Article 5 - Competitor's Dress - and to inform any wrestler of the risk he runs if he presents himself on the mat in incorrect dress. Referees will refuse to weigh a wrestler who is not dressed correctly.
