Boxers must have nominated and competed at the 2016 BSA State Championships to be eligible for the selection event.

The following is the criteria for a boxer to qualify for the 2017 U18 Australian Championships and the 2017 Elite Australian Championships:

  • Some of the finals for divisions will be scheduled to be on the 26th November depending on nomination numbers.   Boxers should be available to compete on any of the 3 days 19th, 20th or 26th November. 
  • The boxer must nominate, weigh in and compete in the 2017 selection event in February for the BSA State Team.    A boxer cannot nominate, weigh-in or compete in the selection event if they have not competed at the 2016 State Championships.
  • If a boxer is interested in making selection for the BSA State Team to attend the 2017 Australian Championships they must compete in the open divisions at the State Championships in 2016 and the selection event for 2017.   All boxers  are in the open division at Australian Championships.
  • A boxer who has met all the above criteria and is in a Boxing SA Team squad must be available for all State Trainings and camps.  If the boxer does not participate in the State trainings or advised camps they could not be selected to attend the Australian Championships.
  • The final SA state team selected for Australian Championships will be selected by the appointed State coaches and BSA committee.

When nominating please advise if your boxer is nominating for a bout at the tournament or if they are nominating for selection for the under-age Australian Championships to be held in April in Adelaide, or for elite men’s state team to participate in April in Adelaide for World Championships selection.

Please note: The underage Australian Championships is only for junior and youth boxers. It is anticipated that school age boxers will have a separate event later in the year.

If you are nominating a boxer for one of the two selections please remember they must be entered in the open division.  

NOMINATIONS for selection event only must be in by 27 January 2017.
