Bracket System
Our brackets are designed to provide 2 or more matches for willing participants in their divisions if possible. When brackets have 2 competitors, they will compete in a best 2 out of 3 to determine the champion. For brackets of 3 competitors, they will compete in a true round-robin and the champion will be determined by the number and types of wins. For brackets of 4 or more competitors, there may be 2 or more matches for each competitor. All competitors who do not have anyone registered in their division will automatically be awarded a gold medal. For Kids, we will make every effort to arrange a one-match consolation match so you still have the opportunity to compete..
Juvenile athletes will compete in their own division, but they’ll have the option to compete in the Adult division — as long as they meet belt and weight requirements and provide a signed waiver with parental authorization.
