Declaration of Weight Senior athletes must make a preliminary declaration of weight on their entry form or at Registration/Check-in.  However, the athlete’s measured weight at weigh-in will determine the competition division.

Naked weigh-in is no longer allowed for any category. To compensate, 0.1kg will be allowed. For example, in the 66kg category, the limit will be 66.1kg. This is a clothing allowance only and the 0.1kg will only be added to the true weight.

Weigh-in:  Competitors will not be allowed to check their weight on official scale during weigh-in times; however, an unofficial scale will be available for the purpose of checking weight outside of the weigh in room during official weigh-in times. 

At OFFICIAL WEIGH-IN, athletes must present their tournament-issued identification card AND a photo ID/Passport.

Elimination Systems: Round Robin for divisions of 5 or fewer; Modified Double Elimination for all others.

Match Lengths: Four minutes for men and women.

USA Judo National Ranking Points: For USA Athletes in the Senior Championship category, points on the USA Judo national rosters will be awarded in accordance with the current USA Judo point system. To receive points on the USA Judo Roster you must be a member of USA Judo prior to the event. Criteria can be found at https://www.usajudo.com/athletes/seniors/2023-national-ranking-rosters#USA_Judo_Point_Roster_Criteria

Senior Seeding: In the Senior Championship category, USA athletes will be seeded based on the current USA Judo Senior National Rosters according to the current USA Judo seeding procedures.

Match Scheduling Conflicts: Seniors may compete in Veterans (if age/rank qualified) but both categories compete on the same day.  Tournament staff will attempt to schedule the divisions as far apart as possible to avoid conflicts, but this is not guaranteed.  The standard “no show” protocol will apply if an athletes fail to appear because they are competing in another division at the same time.
