Format

Teams will be formed of approximately equivalent abilities and will compete against each other using the Under 12-year-old Rules (see link below). As this is a learning environment for competitive judo, the Referee will be generous regarding the Rules and provide instruction as needed. Team members are encouraged to assist their Team with positive words of assistance and encouragement.

The Referee will select compatible players, irrespective of gender, from each Team for the match, which will be 3 minutes continuous, and in case of no results, a 1 minute Golden Score round. If still no results, the Referee will award the match to the player showing the best attitude and positive judo.

Scoring rounds will consist of standard matches, osaekomi-waza (hold down) matches and Team games. One point is awarded to the player who wins their match and points to the Team depending on their place during the Team games. The winning Team is the one with the most points and its players will be invited onto the podium during presentation to receive the medals.
