- classes until each of the 10 weight classes are assigned within the match order.
- The pre-meet captains' coin toss to determine the odd and even matches for
- the meet is unchanged, with odd and even weight classes remaining as listed in Rule 3.4.2.
- Example of Experimental Rule in Action: Coach A wins coin toss and chooses start weight class of 157lbs. Coach B then chooses 184lbs as next weight class. Coach A chooses 125lbs, followed by Coach B choosing 197lbs, etc.
