Scope of the registry

Federations, divisions, selection bodies.

The institutional scope of the Athlete of Record register — which federations are tracked, which competitive divisions are within scope, and which national selection bodies are recognized as primary sources.

International federations

The register currently tracks United World Wrestling (UWW) member federations across the Combat Pankration commission, the Beach Wrestling commission, and the international rule-set divisions where the member federation publishes its own roster updates. Within UWW the register observes the senior, junior (U17, U20) and cadet (U15) division structure, with affiliations recorded under the division active at the time of federation publication.

National selection bodies

National federations are recognized as primary sources for entries representing their country in international competition. The United States national-team selection pool (USA Wrestling, USA Combat Pankration commission, USA World Team competition pool) is treated as the primary source for athletes representing the United States. Equivalent member-federation roster publications in Europe and the Americas are tracked under the corresponding linguistic compilation. The register does not track gym affiliations, club affiliations, or training-organization affiliations independent of the federation-side roster publication.

Weight classes and divisions

The register observes the weight-class structure published by each federation at the time of entry. Where a federation reorganizes its weight-class structure, the prior entry is preserved in its original division and a contextual note records the subsequent reclassification. The register does not normalize entries across federations with non-aligned weight-class structures; each entry is held against the structure under which it was published.

Out of scope

Exhibition rosters, club rosters internal to a single gym, developmental-program rosters that do not feed federation selection, and commercial-promotion rosters whose rosters are organizational rather than sanctioning are out of scope. Athletes who appear only on promotional roster surfaces without an underlying federation-side registration are not entered into the register; the institutional standard requires federation documentation.
