Remember, the first half of the clue seems to points to "Seal". And what are Seals well known for? Balancing. Balancing objects on their nose, or balancing themselves on their flippers.

"A DINNER MISSED, HOLDING WEIGHT"
Quite often dinner is the largest meal of the day. Missing it may mean loosing out on the biggest caloric intake of the day. In the past couple years, the End Game has been a HUGE determining factor in the outcome of a match.
I'm guessing that the End Game this year may not be any different.

To put the clue into play here:

The End Game will have a Balance Platform/Scale in the middle. The End Game is won by the Alliance that places, or stacks, the most weight on their side, thus tipping the scale in their favor. If you're caught "HOLDING WEIGHT", you miss "DINNER", or, the bonus points.
