REGISTERING/CATEGORIES

In all Elite BJJ Events, competitors are strictly required to register and compete within their designated belt categories.  Mixing of belt ranks within divisions is not permitted under any circumstances.  For example, a grey belt is not allowed to enter a yellow belt category, and similarly, a white belt may not register to compete in a grey belt division.  This rule is enforced to maintain fairness, safety, and integrity across all competition brackets.  All athletes must accurately represent their current belt rank at the time of registration and on the day of the event.

Any athlete who registers in the wrong category, whether intentionally or by mistake, will be disqualified on the day of the event.
