Rules

Uniform (Gi):

The gis will not be checked or measured before the tournament, but we may ask a competitor to change their gi if they judge it is inappropriate. This situation can happen if: the gi is obviously too short or too long, there are too many patches on the Gi preventing the opponent from gripping it, the top and the pants are of different colors or the Gi shows visible tears, is wet or dirty, or emanates unpleasant odors.

Competitors may wear a rash guard under their gi. Competitors may not select to wear a shirt under their gi instead. 

Uniform (No-Gi):

For no-gi men divisions, athletes have to wear board shorts without pockets or with pockets entirely stitched shut and reaching at least halfway down the thigh and at most to the knee. Attached metal or plastic of any kind that may hurt the opponent is expressly forbidden on the board shorts. Spats can be worn under the shorts if selected. Athletes must wear a rash guard, a shirt of elastic fabric (clings to body) or may compete shirtless. This rash guard or shirt does not need to meet any color requirements. Athletes cannot compete wearing a loose shirt of any kind.

For no-gi women divisions, athletes have to wear board shorts or lycra elastic pants without pockets or with pockets entirely stitched shut and reaching at least halfway down the thigh and at most to the knee. Attached metal or plastic of any kind that may hurt the opponent is expressly forbidden on the board shorts. Athletes also have to wear a rashguard or a shirt of elastic fabric (clings to body). This rash guard or shirt does not need to meet any color requirements. Athletes cannot compete wearing a loose shirt of any kind.

Hygiene:

Athletes’ finger and toe nails should be trimmed and short.

Long hair should be tied up so as not to cause opponents any discomfort.

Athletes will be disqualified if they are wearing hair dye or makeup that stains their opponent’s gi or the mat surface during a match.

Athletes presenting skin lesions or any other skin condition shall be directed to the tournament medical staff. Under any circumstances, the medical staff has the final say on whether to allow an athlete to compete or not.

Use of any foot gear, head gear, hair pins, jewelry, cups (genital protectors) or any other protector fashioned of hard material that may cause harm to an opponent or the athlete him/herself is forbidden. Also forbidden is the use of head wear – be it bandages, hoods or an elastic cap.
