The Championships will follow the same format and structure as in recent years: an open-entry National Masters Championships, subject to the overall athlete quota and the minimum qualification standard. Medals will be awarded in all age groups and bodyweight categories.

Regarding the Q-Points System, BWL will continue to review its suitability for future editions of the British Masters Championships. This approach reflects feedback from membership consultation following this year’s event, as well as the initial consultation undertaken last year.

Athlete quota:

Men: 50
Women: 50

Qualification period:

12 October 2024 - 12 October 2025

Minimum qualification standards:

Bodyweight categories:

Recognising the transition period between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ bodyweight categories, BWL will apply the following once-off procedure to ensure a safe, fair and consistent ranking is produced:

12 October 2024 to 13 April 2025 - Results attained in the ‘old’ bodyweight categories (including exact bodyweight) will be sorted into the ‘new’ bodyweight categories. For example, if a 49kg women has weighed 48kg or less, this result will automatically be ranked in the new 48kg bodyweight category.
14 April 2025 to 12 October 2025 - Results attained from 14 April 2025 will automatically be sorted into the ‘new’ bodyweight categories.
