We also provide strong direction that athletes seeking Olympic nomination should participate in these competitions in their respective Olympic Weight Category world division. For clarity this means:

• An athlete seeking Olympic nomination in the -49kg female Olympic division should compete in the -49kg female division at the above competitions, not in -46kg or -53kg. This equally applies to all other athletes competing in minus weight categories, notably;
• -57kg Olympic division athletes to compete in the -57kg division at these competitions, not -53kg or -62kg
• -67kg Olympic division athletes to compete in the -67kg division at these competitions, not -62kg or -73kg
• -58kg Olympic division athletes to compete in the -58kg division at these competitions, not -54kg or -63kg
• -68kg Olympic division athletes to compete in the -68kg division at these competitions, not -63kg or -74kg
• -80kg Olympic division athletes to compete in the -80kg division at these competitions, not -74kg or -87kg.
