When is a lifter allowed to re-weigh in for a competition?

A lifter is allowed to re-weigh in for a competition only if their bodyweight is heavier or lighter than the entered category. This regulation is in place to ensure fair competition and proper categorization of athletes based on their weight classes. If a lifter weighs in and discovers that their bodyweight places them outside of their registered weight division, they are permitted to request a re-weigh to confirm their category eligibility.

This process helps maintain the integrity of the competition by preventing athletes from remaining in a weight class for which they do not qualify, thereby ensuring that all competitors are matched appropriately based on their actual weight. It also ensures that the lifters and officials can accurately assess which weight class the lifter should compete in based on their current weight.

The other options do not fully align with the established rules for re-weighing. Simply presenting within a time limit, weighing in at a different weight without proper reason, or general flexibility regarding schedule does not suffice; the key factor is the alignment with the entered category based on the lifter's current weight.
