TEAM & ACADEMY SCORINGPoints are scored in two separate categories:
ACADEMY RANKING: Points are awarded to an Academy (identified by athletes at a single physical training location).
TEAM RANKING: Points are awarded to multiple academies belonging to an affiliation or team
NOTE: Athletes that train at different academies should register under their main training location they have a membership at. This keeps competition fair and allows us to award academies and teams in the fairest way possible. If an academy or team are found to intentionally violate this, we will penalize and remove the academy and team from all rankings.

RULES: HFBJJ Rules-------------------------------------------------------SAFETY PROTOCOL:
******Coach policy
A coach wristband allows access inside the competition area to coach from the mats.
Our policy is 1 coach wristband per every 4 competitors from that same academy. This is to help prevent overcrowding inside the competition area. Additional coaches can easily coach, cheer, or support from outside the barricades.
Coach names will only be added if they are representing the entire team/academy.
Parents do not count as coaches.
--------------------------------------------------------------
All of our equipment will be properly sanitized prior to and during the event throughout the day.
