A calibrated practice scale will be available prior to, and during, the weigh-in periods. However, in no case will contestants be allowed on the Official Scale during Official Weigh-in for the purpose of checking weight. Contestants may check weight as many times as desired prior to the official weigh-in on the Official Scale. A contestant is given only one chance on the official scale during official weigh-in. Open division contestants do not need to weigh in.
At weigh in, athletes must present their tournament-issued identification card AND a photo ID. NOTE -- Photo ID is not required for non-pointable categories such as the NOVICE categories.
For the year 2018, weigh-ins for the DALLAS INVITATIONAL and THE PRESIDENT'S CUP will be held at the same time. Remember to advise the weigh-in officials if you will be competing in both events.
Athletes must declare a weight and make that weight during official weigh in. Weight Category can be changed during the check in/registration process. Failure to make declared weight, will eliminate the athlete from competition, with the exception of OPEN weight category if applicable. Athlete WILL NOT be moved to another weight category if declared weight category is missed.
