Disclaimer for Kid and Adult Brackets
Kid Brackets: The SJJIF designates a significant amount of time to bracketing the Kids. In the case that your child is by themselves in the division we will notify you by email, text or phone call to discuss your child’s options. However, in some situations where your child is by themselves in the division, another competitor might move into your child’s division, in this situation you will not hear from our staff. If you do not hear from our team by email, text or a phone call it means that your child has competitor(s) in his/her division. In the case that you do not respond to the email or call within 24 hours, we will then match your child based by the age, weight, gender, and belt information provided in their registration.
Juvenile and Adult Brackets: The SJJIF holds you accountable to review the competitor list and contact us in case there are any changes needed. Competitors will have up to the Check Date to request to be moved in division. In case you are the only person in your division after the check date you will receive a gold medal in that division and qualify to compete in the Open Weight division. If you want a match, but are not sure where you want to move to, send us an email that you are willing to move and we will place you in the best available option.

The mission of the SJJIF is to unify and organize existing Sport Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Jiu-Jitsu national and/or territorial federations that share the vision of reaching Olympic greatness while preserving the unique history, culture, philosophy, and lineage of our sport.
The SJJIF believes that together, the SJJIF with its National Federations and members, will continue to develop the growing network of likeminded members who envision greater opportunities for our athletes and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as we believe that our athletes deserve an equal right to Olympic greatness!
Together, we will prove that we are a stand-alone sport and gain recognition and admittance into the Olympic program as a competition event of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Deaflympics and in all other games of the Olympic cycle.
