Each athlete can have 1 parent present (I have to keep my numbers within fire code, apologies)
Each team can have 1 coach present
I understand this may not be ideal, but it is necessary to ensure everyones safety in the case of an emergency
Thank you for your understanding.

Rules - Sub Only
Illegal submissions - IBJJF Rules
With safety being my top priority, these will be the rules used to protect the kids as best we can.
Basically, anything that attacks the spine or trachea is not allowed. ie) the guillotine choke and Ezekiel choke as these involve forearm pressure on the neck. Pulling on the head in a triangle is also not allowed for the same reason - spinal.
12 year old athletes choosing to compete in the older division will follow the 13 - 15 year old rule set.
All other techniques are legal.
Younger athletes will have submissions stopped prematurely to reduce risk of injury.
Have fun! Stay safe!
Be a part of our inaugural WCWJ KIDS TOURNAMENT!

How to prepare for registration
Step One
Step Two
Step Three
Find 3 girls to make a team. The combined weight of the 3 girls must satisfy the weight cap. Ensure all athletes satisfy the belt and age requirements for that division. Create a fun team name!!
See Weight classes/divisions above.
Chose a parent captain. They will be responsible for registering the team name in smoothcomp. Watch the video below. ONLY the team captain's athlete should be registered at this point.
Once the captain has registered, they will receive an email within 2 weeks, asking them to notify their team mates that they may now also register. Once all 3 members are registered, your spot is secured.

Match Ups
Team captains will do a coin toss. Winner of the toss gets to decided on the first match up. The next round, the opposing team decides, and the final round is a default. Coaches, remember to keep the child's safety in mind when deciding match ups. Referees have the authority to overrule a choice if needed.
Tie Breaker

A sudden death match will take place.
-
One player from each team will represent the team. The first minutes will be sub only, the last minute will be points based.
-
If no points are scored by the end of the round it will go to refs decision.
Injury
In the event that an athlete gets injured on the mats, their team will become a 2 person team where one team member will be competing twice - to make up for their lost member.
