BJC Adopts Extra Weighing for Senior and Junior Classes

Based on the new rules adopted by the International Judo Federation for the triennium 2014/16 and published by BJC after the continental seminar, the Confederation shall adopt the extra weighing for all athletes above 19, starting from the Troféu Brazil Interclubes.

This means that athletes of senior and junior classes will weigh on the previous day. On the competition day, the weight cannot exceed five percent of the category limit, no judoqui on. A draw made 40 minutes before the start of the fighting will say which four athletes of each category will go through the extra weighing. Judokas have until 15 minutes before the 1st fight of the competition to weigh. More information in the attached file.
