World Championship by BJJ Roots 2026

World Championship by BJJ Roots 2026

Competition Format (Round Robin for Kids and Juvenile, Single Elimination for Adults)

Our matches strictly adhere to IBJJF rules, ensuring fairness and integrity throughout the tournament. Please familiarize yourself with the combat rules by visiting our website.

• Uniform Requirements: All athletes must compete and weigh-in wearing attire appropriate for their respective division (Gi or No Gi). It is imperative that competitors adhere to IBJJF uniform standards for both Gi and No Gi competitions. Failure to comply with these standards will result in immediate disqualification.
• Competition Schedule: Please note that start times for each series of competitions may vary. We strongly encourage participants to stay updated by following our official pages on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates and announcements. Please also check live match time updates regularly on the day of the competition.
• Weigh-in Requirements: Competitors must make weight during the designated weigh-in period. Failure to do so will result in disqualification from the event. We advise competitors to consider moving to a heavier weight class before completing their registrations to avoid any complications.
• To preserve the integrity and meaning of the belt ranking system, competitors must compete only within their registered belt division. Mixing belt levels (particularly in kids divisions, such as white belts competing against grey belts or grey belts against yellow belts) is not permitted. Allowing mixed belt matches would undermine its value, fairness, and credibility. Therefore, all participants are expected to respect the structure of the divisions as part of maintaining the standards of the competition.

Why BJJ Roots?

Many tournaments publish brackets only at the last minute, leaving competitors with unexpected bracket changes or discovering they have no opponent on competition day. At BJJ Roots, we do things differently. We publish brackets as early as possible and communicate with competitors in advance whenever a division has only one athlete, working to find the most suitable solution. While we cannot guarantee every competitor a match, we guarantee transparency, proactive communication, and no unnecessary surprises.
