1. Our tournaments will follow this Double Elimination format for divisions with four (4) or more competitors. (Note: All divisions except for three (3) person divisions guarantee each competitor at least 2 matches.) If/when you lose a match you will be inserted into the Consolation Bracket to compete for 3rd place. The competitors that continue in the Winners Bracket who make it to the Championship Round will be competing for 1st and 2nd place.
Two (2) person divisions will compete best 2 out of 3. Three (3) person divisions will run as follows: The “Bye” competitor will face the loser of Match 1. The winner of Match 2 faces the winner of Match 1 to decide 1st Place.
If there are no other competitors registered in your division you may be placed in another division in order for you to participate. Team Points will not be awarded for divisions with 1 competitor.
We reserve the right to either subdivide or combine divisions, weight classes, or age classes the day of the event depending on the turnout.
2. Each Competitor will be allowed to register in ONE DIVISION ONLY.
3. All competitors must weigh-in with the GI ON.
4. Each competitor must submit an on-line registration form, sign the electronic waiver, and pay the entry fee.
5. No advantages will be given. If the match is tied at the end of regulation the referee will decide the winner based on who showed the most aggressiveness during the match.
6. All competitors must wear a Gi with a standard collar size and thickness.
7. All competitors must wear a CLEAN and a SOLID colored Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu GI (Kimono), either ALL WHITE, ALL BLUE, or ALL BLACK in color. Women may also wear ALL PINK. No mixing of colors. Example; white pants and blue top or blue pants and white top, etc… will NOT be allowed. Competitors will compete with regulation GIs only. A regulation GI is four fingers cuff clearance and sleeves are to be no shorter than 4” from wrist between wrist and sleeve of GI. 8. All male competitors are not allowed to wear clothing underneath the GI such as T-Shirts, Rash Guard, Sweatpants, etc…
9. We will do our best to pair up Kids according to weight and age no more than 2 years apart. For example ages groups may be (6 & 7) (8 & 9) (10 & 11) (12 & 13) (14 & 15). We will do our best to not mix girl and boy competitors, but it may be nescesary. Kids need to be registered according to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Belt rankings (White, Yellow, Orange, Green). Karate or Tae Kwon Do belt rankings may be the same color, but are not equivalent to the skill level as jiu-jitsu. Consult your Jiu-Jitsu instructor before registering your child to avoid your child being entered into the wrong division.
10. We reserve the right to refuse service.
11. We reserve the right to close the tournament registration at any time in order to benefit our event organization.
