What if I don't make weight?
You will be disqualified if you don't make your weight class. We give you until the Wednesday before the event to change your weight class. If you think you might not be able to make weight, it is smarter for you to move up one weight class.
What type of brackets does Jiu Jitsu Therapy use?
Our tournaments use double elimination brackets for brackets 4 or above, so if you lose before the finals you can compete again for 3rd place.
In the case of a 4 - 15 man bracket, double elimination is employed. After your first loss (if not in the finals) you can still compete for third place.
In the case of a 3 man bracket, a round robin system is used.
In the case of a 2 man bracket, the winner is determined by 2 wins out of 3 matches. (If they end both matches in a tie a 3rd match will take place.)
If a fighter is a no show the bracket will continue and consider the no show fighter as disqualified.
Youth: If there are 8 or more youth competitors, we may divide the bracket to ensure a better experience for the participants. By splitting, we can award more medals and create a more enjoyable environment for the kids. The division is made evenly based on Date of Birth.
