99-650 C.M.R. ch. 2, § 1 - Weighing-In
The Authority shall weigh each competitor using scales furnished by the Authority. Scales shall have a maximum deviation of 8 ounces. Both fighters in a scheduled competition must weigh in on the same scale. The Authority may require appropriate testing of the scales prior to the weigh-in, to ensure that the weights of opposing competitors comply with these rules. If the scales are not suitable or a competitor's weights do not comply with these rules, the Authority shall notify the promoter, and the contest shall not take place.
All weigh-ins must occur with an Authority member or agent of the Authority and the promoter or an agent of the promoter present. All weigh-ins must occur at a time and place chosen by the promoter and approved by the Authority. Once a weigh-in begins, the scales shall not be moved until all fighters have been weighed and the weigh-in is otherwise complete.
Competitors shall weigh in wearing clothes like those in which they will be fighting (biking shorts, trunks, for example). Male competitors shall not wear shirts or shoes. Fighters will be allowed to weigh in without clothes, if necessary.
Failure of a competitor to weigh in at the time approved by the Authority will result in disqualification.
