The Optimal Weight Calculator, shown as OWC in the menu, compares each athlete's weights with a plan and shows who is on track, too light or too heavy.

First-time setup

  1. In the side menu, open My Team, then select OWC.
  2. The Set up Optimal Weight Calculator window opens. Fill in:
    • Acceptable variance (lbs): how many pounds under the plan still counts as on track.
    • Annual OWC expiration: the month and day assessments expire each year.
  3. Select Save and continue.

Change it later

  1. Open Settings, then OWC Settings.
  2. Change On-track variance (lbs) (the default is 0.4 pounds) or Annual OWC expiration (the default is September 1).
  3. Select Save settings.

OWC settings

New certifications use the new date. Ones already saved don't change. Weight classes are set under Settings, then Season Settings.
