Athletes 18 years old or younger, which have previously worn a belt from a belt rank that does not exist for their current age range, according to the IBJJF Graduation System, will only be allowed to compete in a belt rank that matches that athlete's current age group.
It is the responsibility of the athlete to be
knowledgeable of the rules and guidelines pertaining to the sport (as outlined
in the IBJJF Rules Book).
It is mandatory to have an official government
photo ID or an IBJJF membership card at all times. Before each fight,
athletes will be asked to show their valid form of photo identification (ID) to
the officials. Make sure you have it on hand.
