Any Boxer who turns 17 before August 1st CANNOT compete in a Junior Advancing tournament...We received an application from a boxer who turns 17 on July 23rd. Even though the LBC Tournament is in Jan-Feb, and the Region is in May, and the Junior Nationals are in June, this boxer is considered to be 17 years old, and can only enter as and Adult to advance to Region/National Championships this year. Please review the USA Boxing regulations below:
#1 Because the boxer turns 17 prior to Aug 1 of this calendar year he may NOT enter any junior Olympic ADVANCING tournaments.
#2 The Boxer may enter other events (club shows) and box as a 16 year old as most regular sanctioned events; your age is your age on that day...This means if there is a local show (not tournament) the boxer can be matched with a 15 y/old, or 17 y/old depending on the months between the two boxers, and would still be considered a Junior.
#3 The Boxer may compete in the Mens or Womens Open division for advancement to the National Championships
#4 Once that Boxer has entered the Mens or Womens advancing national event they may NOT go back to Junior Olympic tournaments.
ATTENTION ALL BOXERS AND COACHES...WEIGH INS CLOSE 30 MINUTES BEFORE EVERY SHOW --- The present schedule for all NJ Golden Gloves shows lists "Weigh in at 6pm, Boxing at 8pm." Since all shows are prematched, all boxers and coaches should be arriving as early as possible to get through the weigh in, see the doctor, and prepare for the bouts. Scales close 30 minutes prior to boxing so the officials can review and schedule the bout order, and start the shows on time.
ALL BOXERS MUST HAVE THEIR OWN BOOK WITH VALID 2010 USA BOXING REGISTRATION STICKER, AND BE CLEAN SHAVED ON THEIR CHIN AND JAW BELOW LIP.
