PRIDE 47

This event will run on time, according to the schedule which is available online throughout the tournament. Competitors are expected in the bullpen to be called to fight at the time according to the online schedule. Competitors not present will be disqualified if they are not present within 5 minutes of their scheduled fight time.

By IBJJF regulations, youths 12 and younger can be grouped in the same bracket. When possible, we will split into separate boys and girls brackets, but depending on the size of the bracket, they may be combined.

Generally, juveniles (16-17 years old) are not permitted to fight in the adults bracket. However, we will try to offer an extra fight for juveniles, if we also have a willing 18 year old fighter that is the same weight and belt. If both parties agree, we will attempt to arrange a special fight.

Competitors with incomplete or unpaid registrations will be removed from the bracket when the registration is closed.
