their stipend before leaving, and they would receive the other ½ after they make weight at

the General weigh-in. If an athlete is disqualified from the tournament due to being

overweight, they will reimburse the LBC their stipend amount already received.

for the box-off was to determine champions and that the runner-ups could get the stipend if

the winner decides to not compete.
