***IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION***
When you register you must provide your accurate WEIGHT with Gi ON. Based on the WEIGHT you provide your WEIGHT CLASS will automatically be selected for you. You will be Bracketed by your WEIGHT CLASS. The WEIGHT with Gi ON information is an additional aid in the bracketing process.

You must wear your GI (Top, Bottom, and Belt) at Weigh-ins. The brackets will already be completed prior to the day of the tournament therefore it its imperative you make the WEIGHT CLASS you registered for. Competitors who are overweight at time of weigh-ins will automatically be disqualified. If you are underweight you will NOT be moved to the lower weight class. If you register under the wrong belt rank, or make other registration errors that would require us to make changes to the brackets the day of the tournament you will be disqualifiied.
