How long are the matches?

We will be running the matches in accordance to the IBJJF match times.

What are the rules?

We will be using the IBJJF rules for kids. We will be keeping it very relaxed and aiming to not DQ and child. This is about gaining experience and having fun. If the refs see something dangerous or against the rules they will reset or move said foul to stop the competitor hurting themselves or their opponent. 

How do the weigh ins work?

You can weigh in as soon as you get to the venue for the competition, please be weighed in an hour before your first match of the day to avoid delays to the schedule. Once weighed in you can chill out and get warm ready for your first match. We will not DQ children for missing a little bit of weight. 

How do we check or change our own entry? 

You can do this on Smoothcomp. The system allows you to make changes yourself. They have a support section you can search if you get stuck. 

What division should I enter?

Whatever belt level you are currently at.

Are there any uniform requirements?

You can wear whatever colour gi you like, but we ask that you roughly meet the IBJJF sizing requirements. BJJ gis only no judo gis will be allowed. 

Spats, VTs, grappling shorts and rash guards are fine for nogi. 

My child is ill/injured/or has changed their mind; can I cancel the entry?
