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 – goes for fighting, duo and ne-waza system (juniors can compete with seniors). However, a team (duo) made up of one Aspirant and one Junior can only compete in juniors, not also in seniors (the Aspirant, although member of a junior team, cannot jump over two age categories and compete with the seniors)!!

• 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. The organizer will observe that the Duo men and women are scheduled for one competition day, while the mixed duo is scheduled for the other day.

Be aware that Cadets (U15) are NOT allowed to compete in Aspirants (U18) category, except for Cadets turning 14 years old in 2018, who are part of a team registered for the Duo system.

Control of entries and issuing of accreditation cards will take place at Begijnhof Hotel, on Friday, November 2, 2018, 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).
