BRACKETS:
Round Robin:
Your round robin bracket is yourself + the 4 women/3 teens/3 kids closest to your weight that are within your belt rank. We prioritise grouping adults to their belt rank first and weight second. We prioritise appropriate matches for teens and discuss first with parents if we are considering merging them to adults divisions. Teens requesting to be added to adults divisions are done on a case by case basis and only with parent & competitor permission. We prioritise safety when building kids divisions and take into consideration weight, age and rank.
Bracket release for round robins are on the day of the competition, after weigh ins are confirmed. Round robin brackets will not be published online.
