Brackets have a maximum capacity and can be merged together if there are not enough registrations.
GRAND PRIX MALE & GRAND PRIX FEMALE

With a maximum of 32 athletes and the condition that the athlete also participates in the normal belt/weight bracket. All belts will be mixed up in 1 bracket.

Shirts 100% the color of the athlete’s rank (belt) are also permitted.
Note: For black belts a small red area will be tolerated, but must not decharacterize the athlete’s rank color.
Use of any foot gear, headgear, hair pins, jewelry, cups (genital protectors), or any other protector fashioned of hard material that may cause harm to an opponent or the athlete him/herself is forbidden. Also forbidden is the use of eyes protectors, even if they are made for sports practices.
FIGHT TIME

NO REFUNDS, NO COUPONS
After registration it will not be able to get your registration fee back.
We understand the frustration about the no refund policy. For an organizer it is a big risk to organize a tournament, all income is needed for this day. There will always be dozens of cancellations. If we have to take this into account, it will not be possible to organize a tournament again. We hope that it is also understandable from our side.
COACHES
5 competitors: 1 coach, 10 competitors: 2 coaches, 15 competitors: 3 coaches, with a maximum of 8 coaches. Each coach will get a keycord with badge, only one coach is allowed to walk to the mats with the athlete.
Please note: we can also confiscate the badge in case of improper/bad behavior.
VISITORS
Visitors are welcome, €5,- entrance fee in cash.
