These are the weight classes for the upcoming Triple Crown Tournament to be held on |
June 1, 2008. Each competitor must not exceed the maximum weight limit for each class. |
When registering, check the appropriate weight class. If entering both gi and no-gi, you must |
choose the weight class of the same name. |
(example-feather weight in gi, means feather weight in no-gi) |
Do not enter into different weight classes. |
|
|
|
There is a 5 lb difference between the Gi and No-Gi division. This is because the Gi |
division takes into account the weight of the Gi. |
A Gi competitor only has to make weight for the Gi division. |
When the division is called, the athlete will check his/her weight with the Gi on. |
This is in accordance with IBJJF guidelines. |
If he/she has made the weight, they will not have to weigh-in again for No-Gi divisions later |
that day. People competing in the NO-Gi divisions only, must make weight when the division |
is called. You must weigh-in with the same attire you will be competing in. |
|
|
|
If the competitor does not make his/her weight,they will be immediately disqualified. |
Please make sure that you are in the correct weight division. If you do not make your |
designated division, you will not be allowed to change divisions. No refunds |
will be given for those competitors that do not make weight. |

If the score is tied at the end of the official match time, there will be a 2 minute overtime, with the “first to score” being appointed the winner.
