SOME GREAT NEWS FOR THIS YEARS FIGHTERS!
NO MORE ADULT MEN OR WOMEN
WEIGHT GAPS
At This Years 2012 IKF World Classic
MORE JUNIOR DIVISIONS AS WELL!

As some may remember from last years IKF World Classic we were forced to create weight gaps between some of the weight classes to assure the weight spreads between weightclasses met Florida State requirements. Well, this year we decided to eliminate the weight gaps and simply ADD more weight classes. We added in 5 More Adult Men weight Divisions. We added in 4 More Adult Women weight Divisions and the best news for the Juniors out there is that we added in 10, yes, TEN More Junior Weight Divisions.

This will help a lot of people decide easier what weightclass they can register in to. Keep in mind though that as in every previous year of the IKF Tournament if a bracket does not have at least two fighters in it you will see notes by certain fighters names asking them to confirm or deny certain bracket moves. In some cases fighters may be asked to do what is called a "CATCH WEIGHT" division. For example, lets say we have 2 fighters in the Light Welterweight division (137.1 lbs. - 142 lbs.) and 2 fighters in a Welterweight division (142.1 lbs. - 147 lbs.). Well, as most know by now, it takes a minimum of 4 fighters to make a legit "Tournament" bracket (Legit Tournament bracket meaning each fighter has at least 2 fights to win the title). For this reason, we would be asking all 4 fighters to meet at a determined weight division between the two weight classes such as between 140lbs and 145lbs. Fighters will also be asked other options such as moving to a different weight division or different rule style.



MORE WEIGHT INFO...


  • All Fighters must choose a WEIGHTCLASS to Fight in when they register.

  • IF A FIGHTER ATTENDED A REGIONAL TOURNAMENT
    Fighters MUST Compete at the Finals in the SAME Weightclass as the Regional level event they fought in, or as first registered in. UNLESS there are no fighters in or close to their weight-division and rule style. In this case, they will be asked to change weight class and if necessary, rule style to have a bout.

  • If a fighter weighs-in heavier than their registered fight weight division, whether at the Regional Level or the Finals, they will be given "2 HOURS" to LOSE the Weight.

  • The maximum amount of weight a fighter will be allowed to lose after their first Official Weigh-In is 2 pounds in 2 hours!

  • NO FIGHTER MAY "GAIN" Weight to make their weight class. If a Fighter weighs-in UNDER their weight class, they will be automatically disqualified from competition without any refund of any registration fees.

  • If after 2 hours, the fighter is still unable to make their registered weight, they will be disqualified from competition whether at the Regional Level or the Finals, without any refund of registration fees.


  • CONVERTING LBS. TO KG. AND BACK
    • For those looking to convert kg. to lbs.?
      • If you have a 65 kg fighter and want to know how many lbs. that is, multiply it by 2.2. 65 kg X 2.2 = 143 lbs.
    • For those looking to convert lbs. to kg.?
      • If you have a 145 lb fighter and want to know the weight in kg, divide it by 2.2 - 145 / 2.2 = 65.90 kg
