TEAM & ACADEMY SCORING
Points are scored in two separate categories:

ACADEMY RANKING: Points are awarded to an Academy (identified by athletes at a single physical training location).

TEAM RANKING: Points are awarded to multiple academies belonging to an affiliation or team

NOTE: Athletes that train at different academies should register under their main training location they have a membership at. This keeps competition fair and allows us to award academies and teams in the fairest way possible. If an academy or team are found to intentionally violate this, we will penalize and remove the academy and team from all rankings.

This Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition will offer Kids, Teens, Adults ( Male and Female ), Gi/No Gi for all belt levels, and Open Weight Divisions
