c) Format
The Championships will be conducted in accordance with the AIBA Technical and
Competition Rules and BAL Technical and Competition Regs.

            i.       Seeding

                 o   When draws are conducted for Australian Boxing Championships and/or
                     National Selection Competitions, a seeding system will be conducted in Elite
                     Men’s and Elite Women’s weight categories. Where there are more than eight
                     (8) boxers in a weight division, BAL can seed up to four (4) boxers.

                 o   The winner of the previous Australian Championships for that weight category
                     will be seeded number 1 and the runner-up for that weight category will be
                     seeded number 2. If there are more than 8 boxers in a weight division then the
                     loser to the gold medallist in the semi-final bout of the previous Australian
                     Championships will be seeded No. 3 and the runner up to the silver medallist
                     in the semi-final bout of the previous Australian Championships will be seeded
                     number 4 or higher at the discretion of the Technical Delegate provided it
                     does not disadvantage any other boxer with a right to a seeding given in this
                     clause.

                 o   Should a gold or silver medallist from the previous Australian Championships
                     change their weight category from the previous Australian Championship they
                     may fill a vacant seeded position in their new weight category at the absolute
                     discretion of the Technical Delegate.

                 o   Where possible, the number one (1) seeded boxer and any number four (4)
                     seeded boxer will be placed in the top of one half of the draw and the number
                     two (2) seeded boxer and any number three (3) seeded boxer will be placed in
                     the bottom half of the draw.

                 o   Where the number of entries for a weight category provides for byes during
                     the draw, the seeded boxer(s) will fill the bye position(s), provided the number
                     one (1) seeded boxer fills the first bye and the number two (2) seeded boxer is
                     so positioned whereby the two seeded boxers can meet only in the final. If
                     four (4) boxers are seeded, they should be placed so that they cannot meet
                     until the semi-final.

   •   The Official Draw will be conducted by Swiss Timing through an electronic draw.
   •   One ring will be used.
