Rules

There will not be any briefing of the rules at the tournament, so make sure you read up on them. International BJJ rules from International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation will apply, you can find them at www.ibjjf.org/rules

Weight Classes

All athletes, regardless of age, are to weight in right before their first fight of the day, about 30 minutes before, so make sure to be at the arena in good time. You weigh in with the gi/kimono/uniform on.

For Adults & Masters international weight classes applies. For Kids and Juveniles we are using the weight classes defined by the Swedish Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, see the lists below.

Juveniles (16-17yr, Boys & Girls)

-48.5kg, -53.5kg, -58.5kg, -64kg, -69kg, -74kg, -79.3kg, -84.3kg, -89.3kg, +89.3kg

Kids (Boys & Girls)

-19kg, -22kg, -25kg, -28kg, -31kg, -34kg, -37kg, -40kg, -44kg, -48kg, -52kg, -56kg, -60kg, -64kg, -68kg, -72kg, +72kg

Mixed Classes

We aim to offer each athlete a chance to fight, so we might have to combine some classes if there are too few participants. We strive to get at least three (3) athletes per class, but sometimes only two (2) is possible. The mixing of classes will primarily be based on the athlete's weight and secondarily their age. For kids we might also have to mix belt colours.

Open Classes

- You must be at least 18 years old.

- You must first have fought in your own weight class.

- You are only allowed to participate in the same belt colour category for Open Class as you participated in your own weight class.

For Male White and Male Blue belts the Open classes will be split into two. One Light for -76kg and one Heavy for +76kg.

For -76kg you will have to weigh in by the mat before your first fight. You are free to choose any of these regardless of what weigh class you competed in the day before. Example: if you competed in -76kg but do not want to keep dieting for another day, it is okay to register for the +76kg Open Class.

For Females it is one Open class per belt colour, except that we might need to combine the Brown and Black Open class for women.

Juveniles

Juveniles (16-17 years old) may also participate in the Adult class, but only in their own weight category and not in the open class. It requires, however, guardian's certificate.

Download the form Dispensansökan för Juveniles and fill it in. Note that it requires the signatures of both a guardian and the instructor. Bring the signed form to the weigh-in at the arena or photograph or scan it in and send a picture of it to [email protected]

Juveniles competing twice pay only the Adult fee. This option will be suggested to you (if you qualify according to your birthyear) when you register.
