Success Ballast

Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Stefano Comini and Michael Choi received +30 kg, Kevin Gleason and Frank Yu +20 kg and Jordi Gené and George Chou +10 kg.{{cite news|url=http://tcr-series.com/images/events/2015/10_Buriram/2015_10_Buriram_SB.pdf|title=Buriram Success Ballast|date=13 October 2015|work=tcr-series.com}} Nevertheless, Yu and Chou didn't take part at this event, so they would have taken the ballast at the first round they would have participated.
