TUESDAY 1 DECEMBER the athletes

can request
to be moved by sending an email to info@bjjitalia.it
(emails sent before TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST will not be considered).

Athletes' brackets, with the estimated times of
their first matches, will be published on smoothcomp
BY FRIDAY , DECEMBER 4TH and cannot be changed during the
competition.

Weigh-in
opens at 8am and closes at
4pm and during this time the athletes can carry out the weigh-in whenever they
want but they must do it strictly at least one hour before the start time of
their first match indicated on smoothcomp (please note that the
times indicated on smoothcomp are estimated times that vary frequently during
the competition because they are updated in real time based on the duration of
previous matches).

At
the weigh-in, athletes only need to show an identity document.

Athletes
registered in Kid 1 (4-5 years old) do not undergo a weigh-in but must still
show up at the weigh-in table, accompanied by an adult, to confirm their
participation in the race.

After passing the weigh-in, athletes must check
that the green dot appears next to their name on smoothcomp (if the red dot
appears, they must immediately return to the weigh-in and ask to be checked
because they cannot participate in the race with a red dot).

Approximate start time of the race: 10am.

All athletes and their coaches are
invited to bring to the competition venue smartphones and/or tablets in good
working order and with a fully charged battery because they will have to
independently access smoothcomp to check the start times of their matches and
the mat where they will have to show up to fight.

For this reason, after the weigh-in,
athletes must constantly check the
estimated start times of their
matches on smoothcomp , which vary frequently because they are updated in real
time during the competition based on the duration of previous matches, and the
mat where they will fight (IMPORTANT: athletes are NOT called to the mat
over the loudspeaker).

At the end of the match
preceding the one they are due to compete in, the athletes must present
themselves to the referee at the table, declare their surname and name and ask
for permission to go onto the mat to fight.

Any athlete who
fails to report to the referee at the weigh-in table at the end of the match
preceding the one he is due to compete in, or who has not yet undergone a
weigh-in, will be disqualified.

If an athlete has
matches on different mats at the same time, he must ask the referee at the mat
table for the next match to postpone his match.

In case an athlete
has to play a match within 5 minutes of the end of his previous match,

You may ask the
Match Official at the table to allow you 5 minutes of recovery time.

It is strictly forbidden to
step onto the tatami with shoes on.

At
the first meeting, if possible, athletes from the same Academy/Team will not be
paired.

POINTS
FOR ACADEMY/TEAM RANKINGS AND FOR RANKINGS FOR THE SELECTION OF ADULT AND KIDS
NATIONAL TEAMS (GI AND NO-GI)

By registering for the
race, athletes declare that they have submitted to the President of their
sports club a valid medical certificate of fitness for competitive activity
(type B1 medical examination) to participate in the race.

On
the MONDAY following the competition, participants can request, by sending an
email to info@bjjitalia.it , to receive a coupon for the
amount paid for the competition registration, minus 2 euros of administrative
costs, and valid for one year, which can be used to register for a future BJJ
ITALIA competition of the same organizer ( requests sent
before or after the MONDAY
following the competition will not be taken into consideration ).

to the best teams at each competition and, with more than 900 entries, also to
