PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ THESE ADDITIONAL NOTES
Please report to the weigh-in area at the stated time in your Gi and Belt.
Please ensure you are wearing footwear up to the scales.
You cannot weigh-in early, but you can have a test weigh. If you make weight on a test weight, you will still have to weigh-in and make weight at the stated time for your category.
Brackets will start approximately 5 - 30 minutes after the report time.
Some categories have 16+ competitors, therefore although your category may be called, it could be some time before all fighters in those categories get onto the mat.
You may notice that some categories share the same weigh-in times. These are generally the smaller categories that we run concurrently to give competitors sufficient rest between fights without having to leave the mats empty. Most categories (groups of categories) will take 1 - 1.5 hours to complete.
Waiting to Fight
At the report time for your category you must be in the warm-up area, and remain here until you have finished fall of you matches.
The table staff will not run around the centre looking for you. If you are not in the warm-up area when called, your fight will go down as a loss.
How the Categories will be run
2 in a category will be a straight final.
3 in a category will fight using the IBJJF method.
4+ in a category will be straight elimination.
The medal presentations will take place shortly after your category has finished.

This event has a zero tolerance policy regarding inappropriate behavior by coaches, parents/guardians, spectators and competitors.
All in attendance must show some restraint when their students or team mates are fighting. There will be competitors and spectators of all ages at this event and we are here to set an example.
Any swearing, inappropriate gestures, violence (towards person or property) or berating the officials (regardless of any decisions they make) will not be tolerated.
If this happens, the referee/organiser has the right to disqualify that competitor, or to ask the person concerned to leave the area. If those concerned do not comply with the referee/organisers request the competitor will be disqualified from the event.
If a coach, parent or team mate encroaches onto the mat, or past any barriers that are in place, man handles an official in any way, or refuses to follow requests made by an official, that person will be asked to leave the venue and the whole team may not be permitted to take any further part in the competition.
