7. A Usg of 1.000 or greater than 1.025 will require the athlete to return no less than one day later to repeat baseline weight and hydration measuring and continue with skinfold testing if hydration is within acceptable limits. If Usg is greater than 1.025, no further assessments of skinfolds or weight should be conducted at that time.

8. Record actual weight including the date actual weight is taken.

9. Conduct body fat analysis using skinfold measurements per the VHSL Certified Measurer guidelines. PLEASE REVIEW THE SPECIFIC PROCEDURES FOR MEASURING USING THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ON THE Web. (Link is below) Import the data into the Optimal Calculator.

10. Minimal weight class certification will be determined automatically by the program on the Coach-Official Team Report. Remember: The computer program will indicate lowest weight class possible and no further changes can be made with the exception of a retest through the appeals process.

11. Athletes initially measuring less than 7% body fat within normal hydration limits may participate at the weight class indicated on the Coach Official Team Report and MUST have a physician clearance form completed.
