If you do not have a mat side coach, we will assign one.
• This event provides more mat time than standard competition, in a friendly inter-club environment. You do NOT need to form your own team – teams are formed on the day by matching similar level players.
• ALL GRADES can do both the teams and competition. Novices are only matched with novice players in both teams and division events. Green belts 13yrs+ are encouraged to referee.
• Where there are matches, we offer senior Orange-Green and Blue-Brown belt divisions.
Entry Terms & Conditions
• All competitors must be full members of the Judo Federation of Australia or an IJF affiliated body with evidence of current membership.
• Female players MUST wear a white, round neck T-shirt.
• Players must bring a white gi. Blue gi can be worn if called up second but is not required.
• Competition runs to JFA Sporting code. Onus remains on coaches and parents to inform officials of issues regarding matching on the day.
• Volunteers, participants and parents/guardians must inform officials of anything that may put themselves or others at risk and acknowledge that judo is a contact sport with inherent risks and fully and totally indemnify the organizers, volunteers and officials in the case of any injury or illness that is not covered by statutory legal rights, including death, regardless of the cause or contributing factors.
• Whilst provision of a medical certificate may be considered, there is no obligation to refund fees.
