When brackets are completed, competition will be held and medals awarded. In cases where there is only 1 competitor in a weight class, the competitor may remain in that weight-class and be guaranteed a Gold medal. Alternately, the competitor may elect to move into a heavier weight-class (never lighter than qualified for) that has 1 or more competitors and compete in that weight-class if the Sport Coordinator approves and can accommodate the change.
In Boxing, Wrestling and Submission Grappling, a competitor may move up only 1 weight class. Show more
