Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What rules are the competition under?

ALL our competitions follow the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (IBJJF) ruleset unless specifically stated otherwise. For more information regarding the IBJJF rules and regulations, please read https://ibjjf.com/rules/

What is an appropriate attire for me to wear to compete?

For Gi competitors, your Gi must be the appropriate length and size. Male competitors are not allowed to wear any rashguards/t-shirts inside the Gi. You are free to compete in any Gi color you choose. For more information regarding attire, please read https://ibjjf.com/uniform/

What are the procedures for weighing in?

You can weigh in anytime before you are called in the bullpen, although weighing in early is highly recommended. For athletes competing in the Gi, weigh-ins must be done in the Gi. There is no weight allowance. If you miss weight, you will be allowed to weigh in again. Competitors who fail to make weight will not be allowed to compete.

What happens if I signed up for the weight division, but realize I will not be able to make the weight before the tournament begins?

You will be able to change your weight division (on your own via Smoothcomp) before brackets are drawn (7 days before the tournament begins.) Once the brackets are drawn however you will have to make weight or be disqualified.

What happens if I signed up but am unable to compete?

Unfortunately, we do not give out cash refunds.

I missed the registration dateline. Will I still be allowed to register and compete?

Unfortunately, we will not be allowing last minute registrations. This is to minimize any confusion from occurring as we draw up the brackets. Our registration timeline is written on our Smoothcomp and will be posted frequently on our social media, do note it down!

What happens if there is no competitors in my bracket?

Parents will be contacted to see what's the next best course of action we can do to ensure the competitors will be placed in a division that is fair for all involved.

 How many medals are you awarding to the kids division? Do all participants get a medal?

In line with IBJJF standards as well as most kids competition in the region, we will only be awarding medals to the top 4 athletes in each kids division, namely 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze. We would like to encourage parents to make use of this BJJ competition as a teachable moment to help to inculcate values such as respect, determination and resilience.
