Proceed to the doctor where you will receive your medical certification. After having been cleared for competition by the event physician, you will be able to make your official weigh-in. Be sure to bring your doctor-completed Competition Day Medical form with you to the scales.

This is where all your dieting and hard work pays off. Weigh-ins must be completed wearing Muaythai shorts, and for non-title, non-tournament competition a .25 kg allowance is provided to athletes. Athletes who do not make weight are not permitted to attempt to lose more than 2% of their body weight for subsequent attempts.

Once you have made weight you are cleared for competition. Enjoy eating and drinking before competition, but don’t fill up too much- the action is going to start soon.

Don’t wander too far after weighing in; the pre-competition rules meeting takes place about an hour prior to the first bell. This meeting is mandatory for all Athletes and Seconds (Coaches and Corners).

Give your best performance in the ring, and remember to follow all the rules and obey the ref at all times. Safety is paramount.

Congratulations on your performance! Following the contest, make sure that you are examined by the doctor as you exit the ring.
