Does any one know how to officially weigh a kohlrabi? I am wondering about trimming off leaves, how much root is allowed etc. I see pictures of the world record kohlrabi with the top leaves left on and everything else trimmed off. What is the "official" answer on this?

I would do both.

but i preferably would do it With the leaves and roots on, Thats what the Alaska state fair does I think. Go to alaska state fair website.
good luck and post the weight when u have weighed it.

Leave it all on. The judges will cut it off were it needs to be. I think it's 1" from the base of the 1st leaf, but you can contact Norm Craven for the official regs.
