they’re in the lowest weight class, under 50kg. the next is 50-53 kg.

Doesn’t really matter where you put the line. it’s gotta go somewhere and at that level, they’re always going to be gaming the system to get an advantage, and any sport with a weight class, that means doing things to temporarily drop weight for the weigh in ceremony. (not eating, dehydrating yourself. getting as naked as you can without the judge eyeing you.)
