FORMAT - DOUBLE ELIMINATION
- In the double elimination format, the tournament proceeds through rounds where winners advance in the main bracket. However, unlike single elimination, athletes who lose a match move to a secondary bracket. This gives them the opportunity to compete for third place.
- In this system, the athlete who wins all their matches will receive the gold medal, the runner-up in the final match will earn the silver medal, and the winner of the secondary bracket will be awarded the bronze medal.
- Please note, the double elimination format is guaranteed only if all athletes in the bracket attend and compete. PBJJF cannot ensure the attendance of all registered athletes.

REGISTRATION:
- We strive to ensure that our events can comfortably host as many participants as possible. However, to maintain a high standard of quality, there is a maximum capacity.
- PBJJF reserves the right to close registration either when full capacity is reached or by the specified registration deadline, whichever occurs first.
- Providing false information during registration, including but not limited to date of birth, can result in immediate disqualification. Such actions may lead to suspension or even permanent exclusion from future PBJJF events.
REFUND POLICY
- The registration fee is not refundable. PBJJF cannot assure that all athletes will attend the tournament. Consequently, PBJJF will not provide refunds to athletes who are left without a match due to their opponent's absence.
- The registration fee is non-refundable. However, athletes who cancel their registration before the deadline will receive a coupon code equivalent to the registration fee. This coupon can be used as a credit for any future PBJJF tournament. Cancellation requests made after the deadline will not be eligible for a coupon code.
ATHLETE RESPONSIBILITIES AND SCHEDULE
- Athletes are responsible for understanding and adhering to the sport's rules and guidelines. Please refer to the schedule section to determine when you need to be at the event, prepared to compete, and in the warm-up area.
- Competitors should be at the venue and ready to compete at least one hour before their division’s scheduled start time, as the tournament may run ahead of schedule. The posted start times in the event’s schedule are approximate and can vary throughout the day due to factors beyond our control.
MEDALS AND TROPHIES
