NB! Points for overall placings are added to points for weight-category placings.
How the calculation works: the World Championships points scale is used as the basis. If a competitor has competed only at the Estonian Championships and become Estonian champion by finishing in 1st place, their total for the year is 75×0.1= 7.5 points.
