Rules:

International Judo Federation Rules will be used for this tournament (The Bahamas Judo Federation reserves the right to make modifications in the best interest of the contestants).

Judogis:

White Judogis mandatory, blue Judogis optional.  Competitors are responsible for providing their own blue and white belts.

Method of Competition:

1.  Categories having five (5) or less competitors, Round Robin Pool (all competitors fight against each other) will be used.  The order of finish is determined by number of wins, then, if tied, by total points (Ippon = 10, Waza-ari = 7, Yuko = 5, Koka = 3 Decision = 1).  If tied in wins and points, the winner of the head-to-head competition between the two who are still tied determines the winner.  If three or more are still tied in wins and points for any place (first, second, or third), those contestants involved must contest again to determine the order of finish.

2. Categories having six (6) competitors or greater: Modified Double Elimination.  Players are divided into two pools, A and B by means of a draw.

Determination of 1st and 2nd place:  The “knockout” (single elimination) system is used to produce two finalists, who will compete for 1st & 2nd place.

Determination of 3rd place:  All contestants who were defeated before the semifinals will compete in a consolation bracket (referred to as a loser’s pool).  Athletes will be placed in the loser’s pool in a way that attempts to keep those who met in the “winner’s” pool from meeting again, although depending on the size of the division, this will not always be possible.  The losers of the semifinals will fight in the last two remaining players in the loser’s pool.  The winners of those two matches (2) will be placed 3rd.
