DIVISIONS AND WEIGHT CLASSES - BJJ WITH GI
IMPORTANT!! Gi Colors may be black, white or
blue, no combined colors (white kimono with blue pants, etc.)
The weigh in system is the same used by IBJJF. The competitor will weigh
in before his first match. If you don't make weight, you will be
immediately disqualified. Please make sure that you are in the correct
weight category. You cannot change divisions, if you do not make your
designed division. No changes will be accepted on the day of the
tournament, and no refunds will be made. We offer an extra scale for
people to check their weights before.
IMPORTANT!! Each academy can only have two athletes in the same division (of age/weight/belt). If your academy has problems regarding the number of athletes in each division, please send and e-mail to gustavo@azsbjjf.com.
The AZSBJJF is not responsible for choosing which competitors will represent their team in the case of more than 2 competitors signing-up from the same team. If no e-mail is sent, then the first 2 competitors registered will represent their team (Team A). The remaining competitors will be separated into "Team B", Team C", etc. Example: Points scored by "Team B" will not count towards "Team A".
Exception
for Weight restriction for the Kids Division (4-15 yrs):
If a child weighs in over their weight limit, they will be
disqualified from competition unless
the coach/parent of their opponent agrees to the match. This applies to
all matches: quarter, semi, and finals. Important Notes
regarding KIDS Skill levels: White and Grey Belts
Will Compete in the SAME division. Yellow, Orange and Green belts may be
combined in the case that there are not enough competitors in those
divisions.

ATTENTION PARENTS!
We don't guarantee that all kids will have more than one match. If the kid loses in the semi finals, he will compete for the third place to have an extra match. When there are only two kids in the division, they will compete in a best of three system. Divisions or weight classes are subject to change. GD Jiu-Jitsu Events doesn't offer refunds.
