IBJJF rules and weight categories - Please note that IBJJF rulesets allow for heel hooks and associated knee reaping at NO-GI Brown and Black belt only.

WEIGHT CATEGORY:

Ensure your weight on the Smoothcomp profile is correct before you sign up to the competition. 

If your are over your weight limit upon weigh in for your division, you will be disqualified for the safety of others. If you are on the upper limit within your weight category, sign yourself up to the division above and you can go back and change that before the registration deadline. It is impossible to change divisions on the day as brackets have already been drawn. This will be strictly enforced and no refunds will be given.

EDITING YOUR WEIGHT DIVISION PRIOR TO EVENT:

You can edit your registration yourself (including which weight you have signed up to and belt rank) up until the 22nd November 2022, so it is a good idea to double check your weight approaching this deadline.

OVER WEIGHT UPON CHECK IN = DISQUALIFICATION no questions asked

MERGING DIVISIONS:

Competitors may be merged with another division. We will endeavour to match everyone but if you are alone in your division once brackets are published then unfortunately we were not able to safely match match you.

Full refunds will be given if you are not matched up with anyone.

Masters divisions will be merged with the adult division if there are no other match ups available.

DAY OF EVENT:

Weigh in will open 2 hours before your division.

REFEREES

The referees word is final. Any abuse towards event staff will result in instant disqualification.
