If a contestant "hides" his current level in his performance and the organization finds out at the championship, the contestant will be disqualified. All this means that we try to make the championship as fair as possible and that is why we ask the athlete to choose the category that corresponds to them according to their level. If you have doubts, you can consult with the organization to tell you in which category you should compete.
