⚠️ Weigh-In Information

PLEASE NOTE : It can be some adjustments to the weight-in rules. More information will be announdsed soon.

Athletes competing in both Gi and No-Gi only need to weigh in once. The No-Gi weight will be used for both divisions.

If you successfully make weight for your No-Gi division, you are automatically approved for your Gi division as well. There is no need to weigh in again wearing your Gi.

Athletes competing in Gi only must weigh in wearing their Gi, according to the competition rules.

Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you on the mats!

mportant – Please Check Your Registration Details

All parents, guardians, and athletes are reminded to carefully review their registration details on Smoothcomp.

Please make sure that:

• The athlete is registered in the correct weight class.
• The athlete is registered in the correct belt division.
• All information is accurate and up to date.

It is especially important to check the weight class. Children can gain or lose weight over the course of a month, and it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure the registered weight is correct.

Any changes can be made directly in Smoothcomp.

Deadline for all changes: Tuesday, Mars 30

Please double-check your athlete's weight class and belt rank to avoid issues at weigh-in. Athletes registered in the wrong division may be disqualified or moved according to the competition rules.

Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth and fair competition for everyone.
