Nominations

Make sure you have discussed your nomination with your coach and your coach's contact details are included in your nomination!  You should also ask your coach to nominate themselved online under the "coach" category of nomination.

Please nominate for the weight division in which you intend to compete. Ensure your gender is entered to display the correct weight division, noting that there are separate junior categories for athletes that will not turn 17 or older in 2024.

Catchweights will not be used. The current weight field on the nomination form is only there to allow the matchmaker to assess your likelihood of making your nominated weight division.

Boxers will not be offered an alternative match if their coach refuses an offered match that meets the age/experience/weight matching criteria contained within the Boxing Australia Technical and Competition Regulations.

The draw will be published on the Event Page on Boxing ACT's website in the week leading up the event.
