Weight and weighing ceremony

1. At a time and place approved by the commissioner, the commission members shall administer a weigh-in event in which each contestant must be weighed before the opposing contestant at least eight but not more than thirty-six hours before the match. 2. The official scales must be available to all contestants a minimum of two hours before the scheduled start time of the weigh-in event. A title fight must have two scales, the official scale and a second for the contestants. The commissioner shall provide the official scale. The promoter shall provide the scale for the contestants. For a title match, the official scale must be certified and calibrated by a qualified technician. 3. Only contestants approved for the event may be weighed during the weigh-in event. 4. A contestant who has contracted to participate in a specific weight class may not compete if the contestant's weight exceeds the standards for that weight class unless the contract allows the weight differential to be agreed to by the opposing contestant and the opposing contestant agrees to it. 5. If a contestant does not meet the weight requirements during the weigh-in event for the weight class and the opposing contestant does not agree, the contestant or both contestants have two additional hours to make the prescribed weight. 6. If the contestants fail in making the weight after the two-hour period, both contestant managers shall come to an agreement, or the match is canceled. If allowed by the promoter and agreed to by the commissioner, the contestants may have an exhibition match.
