SJJIF National, Professor, and Team Ranking

SJJIF Ranking is how the SJJIF ranks the top nation, professor, and team in the sport and must follow the following guidelines:

1. Competitors are required to identify their nation, team, and professor at registration so that tournament organizers can keep accurate records.
2. All Athletes who register giving the same name for nation, team, and professor will contribute to the respective SJJIF ranking.
3. No athlete or coach may change the nation, team, or professor they are registered for after the check date has passed or previous event.

The SJJIF World Jiu-Jitsu Championship is the final competition for SJJIF rankings.
National Ranking is based on the accumulation of all Gold, Silver and Bronze medals earned by all competitors representing that particular country in all SJJIF sanctioned tournaments during the period of one SJJIF competition year.

Professor Ranking is based on the accumulation of all Gold, Silver and Bronze medals earned by all competitors registered under that particular professor in all SJJIF sanctioned tournaments

Team Ranking is based on the accumulation of all Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals earned by all competitors representing that particular team in all SJJIF sanctioned tournaments during the period of one SJJIF competition year and will be determined by the following guidelines:

1. Kid Team Points – for all divisions from Kid 1 through Kid 6
2. Adult Team Points – for all divisions including Juvenile 16-17, Adult 18, and Master 30 through Master 61

Athletes who place top 3 in a tournament division will accumulate points for their country, professor, and/or team ranking based on of the following point structure:

Tournaments with less than one thousand (<1000) competitors

Points from divisions where only one athlete is signed up will not count toward country ranking or team ranking.

If there is a draw in scores, the winner will be decided by the largest number of gold medals received.
In the event that there is a continued draw, the winner will be decided by the largest number of silver medals received.
In the event that there is a continued draw, the winner will be decided by the largest number of bronze medals received.
In the event that there is a continue draw the winner will be decided by the medal count of the highest belt.
