To reduce the workload on clubs and coaches in arranging printing, completion and return of competition waivers and codes of conduct, and the workload on weigh-in officials in managing collection of this documentation, both documents have been converted to an online process.
This was piloted during the BG4 championships, and 100% of the parents/guardians of boxers contesting this competition participated in the process. It has continued through the BG 1,2 and 3 Championships.
