Your round robin bracket is yourself + the 4 women/3 teens/3 kids closest to your weight that are within your belt rank. We prioritise grouping adults to their belt rank first and weight second. We prioritise appropriate matches for teens and discuss first with parents if we are considering merging them to adults divisions. Teens requesting to be added to adults divisions are done on a case by case basis and only with parent & competitor permission. We prioritise safety when building kids divisions and take into consideration weight, age and rank.

Please note, in order to guarantee matches for all competitors, we do sometimes need to merge divisions. We do this carefully, thoughtfully and as fairly as possible, and discuss with parents and competitors as required.

Match points, rules & guidelines as per IBJJF handbook.  

No advantages recorded. 

Gi: uniform can be any colour but must be BJJ weight cotton.

Belt must represent rank.
