The Junior Championships is our series of double elimination Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and no gi submission grappling tournaments for children and teens (ages 4 – 17) only!
Children and Teen divisions at US Grappling events now use the Madison Bracketing System. There will no longer be preset weight classes for Children and Teens.
At the end of weigh ins, the children and teens will be sorted by weight. Brackets will then be made by grouping them into sets of 4 or 8. Children will be divided by weight, experience, and age (whenever possible).
Using the Madison system means children and teens will no longer cut weight since they won’t know the weight classes in advance.
