Tournaments
Double Elimination
All JGA tournaments are double elimination, guaranteeing each competitor a minimum of 2 matches per division they are registered for. The only exceptions to this are classes that have only 2 competitors and a 3 competitor class where the winning competitor received a first round bye and wins the final (see bracket examples).
Multiple Divisions
All competitors will have the opportunity to compete in 3 different division per tournament. Division 1 (Gi division), Division 2 (No Gi division) and the Absolute division. The tournaments will vary from all Gi divisions, all Submission Wrestling (no gi) divisions or a combination of the two.
Female competitors will be allowed to compete in the boys classes as well as the girls at no additional cost. On some occasions they may not have competitors in the girls classes. We encourage all competitors to compete in as many division as they can to maximize the experience of competing in tournaments.
