Podium Cup Format
Copa Pódio has used the round-robin system as a format for its Grand Prix in the MAIN LEAGUE since its creation in 2011. However, we are now also implementing the round-robin system in its official competitions with the aim of promoting and strengthening the Brazilian Championship. Jiu-Jitsu, and helping athletes reach professional levels.
The official championships were launched with the aim of bringing our organization closer to the work of teams spread across Brazil and the world, as well as monitoring the performance of athletes who were previously inaccessible due to the impossibility of following the championships of so many organizations spread across Brazil.
