Competition System:
 

Depending on the number of competitors in each category, the System of Competition will be.

a) Six or  More Competitors.

    The System of Competition will be the elimination system with double repechage:

The competitors are divided into two (2) tables, designated Table “A” and Table “B”, by means of a draw, and a single elimination system (sometimes called a “knock-out” system) is to be used to produce two (2) finalists. The winner of the final match will  be awarded 1^st place, the loser 2^nd place. The 1^st place winner will have no losses, the 2^nd place winner will have lost only to the 1^st place winner. The two competitors who lost to the finalists in the semi-final matches are placed in the final matches of the repechage bracket and will compete for the two (2) third places.

Tables “A” and “B” are each divided so that four (4) quadrants designated A1, A2 and B1, B2 are created. Competition in the winner’s bracket continues until each quadrant has a winner (4 individuals). These four competitors are the semi-finalists. All of the competitors who were defeated by the winners of A1, A2, B1 and B2 are allowed to compete in a “repechage” of their respective quadrants. For Pool A1, the first competitor who lost to Pool A1’s winner, fights the 2^nd competitor who lost to Pool A1’s winner, etc. The same elimination matches occur for the repechage of A2, B1 and B2. The winner of the A1 repechage competes against the winner of the A2 repechage. Similarly for B1 and B2.

The final contests for 3^rd place will be. The winner of each repechage (A and B) against the loser of the semi-final of the opposite Table (B and A). Thus, the name “cross over” repechage. The winners (2) of those fights are placed third the losers (2) are placed fifth.

A “bye” is not a win and the competitor is not called to the tatami. A forfeit is considered a win.

Medals and places will be awarded in accordance with the Organization and Sporting Code of the International Judo Federation (IJF).

b) Five or Less Competitors.

    The System of Competition will be “Round Robin” (everyone against everyone).      

        (1)  Allocation of Points.

For every contest, the system of allocation of points will be

        (2)       Determination of a Winner:

            The order of finish in the Round Robin System is determined by:

• FIRST: The number of wins.

• SECOND:  If after considering the number of wins there is a tie, the results will be decided on the number of points scored.

• THIRD:  If after considering the  number of wins and the points scored, there is still a tie, the winner of the head-to head competition between the two competitors who are still tied determines the winner.

• FOURTH: In the event three or more competitors are still tied in wins and points for any place (first, second, third), those competitors tied must contest again to determine the order of finish.

        (3)              Situation Involving Fusen Gachi and Kiken Gachi

3.1 In the event a competitor does not show after validly weighing in, the opponent is awarded a score of fushen gachi (10 points)

3.2  In the event a competitor with draw from a contest, the opponent is awarded a score of Kiken Gachi (10 points)
