BRACKETS

The brackets will serve as a simple elimination system (K.O. system), where the losing athlete from each match is eliminated and the winner goes through to the next stage of the bracket. Brackets can be combined into one bracket if there are not enough registrations.

Brackets have a maximum capacity and can be merged together if there are not enough registrations.

UNIFORM

IBJJF Uniform Requirements

The Gi should be completely white, blue or black. No Gi’s will be accepted with different colored jackets or pants nor will we allow the use of Gis with different colored collars. It is not allowed for athlete’s to wear rashguards beneath their Gi (except for females).

Use of any foot gear, headgear, hair pins, jewelry, cups (genital protectors), or any other protector fashioned of hard material that may cause harm to an opponent or the athlete him/herself is forbidden. Also forbidden is the use of eyes protectors, even if they are made for sports practices. The use of joint protectors (knee, elbow braces, etc.) that increase body volume to the point of making it harder for an opponent to grip the Gi are also forbidden.
