All divisions will be grouped once registration closes. The listed divisions are placeholders and general weight classes are set up so we can get a general idea of the divisions. 

Please note that we will be grouping people within 0-10 Pounds with each other where possible to ensure the maximum amount of matches. For smaller/younger athletes we will use a max of 5 lbs. 

We will do our best to separate the same dojo participants from being in the same division. However, this is not always possible. If approved, we can change participants into another age or weight bracket. In the case where participants from an individual dojo create the majority or all of a division, the head sensei will be contacted to change participants into another age or weight bracket if appropriate. All ranks can participate and will be grouped by their skill level.

Skill Level Breakdown

• Youth "Novice" division = White belts 6 months or less
