The TMAA BJJ Invitaional is open to invited clubs and their members. Due to space limitations we have had to pull back from running an open comp as we couldn't handle the numbers at the last one. Both the kids comp and the adults will be limited to 100 entries each. 
This kids BJJ comp is for children aged 5yrs to 13yrs and will weigh in at 8.30am and begin at 9am Sat October 21st. Entrants must register online with accurate weight, or they will run the risk of missing out on competing on the day. 
Divisions under 10 years will be determined by weight, age and belt grade. Divisions 10yrs+ will be determined by weight, age, belt grade and gender.
The divisions will run on a bracketed knockout basis, with children who win proceeding in their division, and children who lose their first fight, getting a 2nd roll with another losing competitor. All children will have at least 2 opportunities to compete. 
Their will be medals for all divisions, plus spot prizes and a sportsmanship trophy for the student who displays the best attitude and budo.
The adult BJJ comp will weigh in at 12pm and begin at 1pm. Again all competitors must register online with accurate weight, as the competition brackets will be set up the day before, based on your registration and missing weight may result in disqualification.
Dependant on competitor numbers we will be running the following adult divisions; Novice (first time competitors), Youth (14yrs - 16yrs), Adult (by weight and belt), Seniors 40+ (by weight and belt) and Open (any belt by weight).
Competitors may enter multiple divisions i.e. Novice, Adult & Open.
Adult divisions will run on a straight knockout basis.
IBJJF rules will apply to competition on the mats, however division brackets may vary from the IBJJF format. No divisions will be run with less than 4 competitors. Where divisions lack sufficent numbers, divisions will be combined either by weight or belt.

Entry fee is $20 per child, $25 per adult and $30 per adult entering multiple divisions.
