3. Boxing SA Committee of Management reserves the right to review and change the above amended rule (a boxer who is not an Australian Citizen) in the event further detail is required.  

A boxer may compete in a higher class if he / she so desires, for example, a boxer who has had four bouts may compete in Open Class. A boxer CANNOT change categories by age i.e. under 17 to senior unless a birthday takes place between the 2007 State Championships and the 2007 Australian Championships. Also the tournament committee reserves the right to place a boxer in a higher class in special circumstances if it is considered that such actions is in the best interest of the tournament and the boxer.

A boxer that has a birthday between the 2007 SA State Championships and the 2007 Australian Championships may elect to go up an age division prior to the commencement of the SA State Championships to be eligible to compete in that age division at the Australian Championships. e.g. 16 years (Cadet) at the commencement of the SA State Championships turn 17 years (Junior) after the SA State Championships would need to compete as a junior at the SA State Championships to be eligible for the Australian Championships unless the division intending to compete in was vacant.     

Only boxers who win their nominated weight class will be eligible for selection in the State Squad who will be given priority for the 2007 Australian Championships to be held in Brisbane, Queensland from the 6th-9th of December 2007 provided they have been consistently available for local competition throughout the year and meet the requirements set out by the BSA committee of Management and State Coach.
