How long does the weigh-in period last?

• A. 1 hour
• B. 1 hour 30 minutes
• C. 2 hours
• D. 45 minutes

Answer: (B)

Weigh-in time is the 90-minute window before the competition session during which lifters must be weighed to verify their weight class. The 1 hour 30 minute duration is chosen to give athletes enough time to weigh in, address any minor issues or reweigh if needed, and still keep the meet on schedule. If a lifter does not weigh in within this window, they typically aren’t eligible to compete in that session. This window balances flexibility for athletes with the need for orderly, timely progression of the meet.
