- Top 3 competitors with the greatest waistline reduction will be awarded a prize pack (this is a separate category and will not determine overall winners)
- If a tie occurs, the tiebreaker will be the team or individual that has lost the highest percentage of their weight
POINTS:
Weight Loss:
- Each team member or individual competitor will earn two points for any weight loss experienced from their previous weigh-in = 2 points max per individual, 10 points max per team
- A minimum of .1 lbs must be lost to earn the two points for weight loss
- No points will be awarded to a person who has gained or maintained their weight
Weigh-Ins:
- Each competitor who attends a scheduled weigh-in (all team members do not have to weigh in at the same location) = 1 point per individual, 5 point max per team.
- If a competitor knows ahead of time that they will be unable to make a certain Tuesday weigh-in, they may weigh-in on the Friday before the known missed weigh-in day, NOT the Friday after the missed weigh-in. A Friday make-up weigh-in must be done in the Innsbrook Foundation office only from 11:30am – 1:00pm.
- If a competitor misses a weigh-in due to unavoidable circumstances, the Innsbrook Foundation will assess the situation and determine if a “make-up” weigh-in may be issued
