    What is the maximum difference between weight and age to compete in the same class.

    17 years and depends on the weight class, although that can be 10kg.
    Is that what you are asking?

    You get paired with people your age untill you're 17. Then you can be paired with anyone between 17 and 34. I'm not sure about the weight on either side, i think your allowed a kilo on each end of the weight? Not sure though.
