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 will 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 and White Belt competitors, 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 will also 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.
