The Fall BBJJO event this year will be held on Oct 15th and is a Gi Only ROUND ROBIN style tournament.
*TOURNAMENT FORMAT* This is a round robin format tournament. Competitors are separated by
rank, then by weight, with the first five lightest competitors making a
division, the next five lightest making the next division and so on.
Weigh-in is on the day of the tournament, and as there are no set weight
classes, there should b
e no need for weight cutting.
With a round robin format, each competitor is matched against each of
the other four people in the division, meaning every competitor has FOUR
FIGHTS for the day.
The goal of this tournament is to provide
positive tournament experience without the normal stress and drama
associated with the bigger competitions. In single elimination
tournaments, if a competitor loses their first fight, that is the end of
the day. This tournament offers competitors months of tournament
experience in one day!
Division winners are determined by
overall performance. Each competitor receives the following points for
each round of their division:
Win via submission: 3 points
Win via points: 2 points
Draw: 1 point
Loss: 0 points
Bye: 0 points
In the event of a standings tie, the winner will be determined by the results of their match.
