BRACKETS

FORMAT and PROTOCOL: Fennec Kids Cup follows Double KO formatting with a loser bracket, meaning that all kids competitors get multiple matches for signing up for a division. That means if you compete in both Gi and NoGi, you could get at least 4 fights. This allows you to compete against so many different people, giving you the experience you deserve! Fennec Kids Cup follows the traditional points structure but without advantages! We are also very submission friendly with age-appropriate techniques!

Brackets can be combined into one bracket if there are not enough registrations.
