For the duo system (classic) the JJIF rules, as adopted at the session in Bogota Colombia and active from 01-01-2018, apply for this tournament.

Athletes born in 2004 can only participate in the tournament if they are part of a Duo Team registered for the U18 age category.

PLEASE NOTE the decisions and explanations from the JJIF Technical Congress in St. Petersburg 2010, adopted by JJIF GA and JJIF Board: 

• The age is considered according to the year of birth, not the actual birth date of the competitor
• The athlete can compete in one higher age category – this applies to fighting, duo and Jiu Jitsu (ne waza) system (juniors can compete with adults). However, a team (duo) made up of one Aspirant and one Junior can only compete in juniors, not also in adults (the Aspirant, although member of a junior team, cannot jump over two age categories and compete with the adults)!
• If a competitor participates in the Duo competition, he/she is allowed to be part of a mixed couple and of a couple of his/her gender on the same tournament. Control of entries and issuing of accreditation cards will take place at the Official Hotel on 21^th of June, during registration. At least one team-official must attend in time to confirm the presence of all athletes and officials. The team official must be able to show all official documents and passports of all team members (copies are accepted).
