The Dallas Open is a USA Judo Senior-D level event. USA Judo Elite Roster points are awarded to the winners of certain senior divisions. The following is USA Judo’s explanation of how the points will be awarded from this tournament. For more information on points tournaments visit the U.S. Judo website at www.usjudo.org/. This event is a USA Judo Senior-D level event. The ONLY divisions in which points can be earned are the highest SENIOR belt rank divisions. No points are awarded in JUNIOR-AGE divisions; ALL players who place 1st, 2nd or 3rd will receive Senior D-level points. Restrictions: Players must win at least 1 match and be a citizen of the USA in order to receive points. In addition, after earning points, in order to be listed on USA Judo's national roster, a player must join USA Judo (if not already a member). Seeding: For the Senior D-level categories, the top 4 nationally ranked Senior athletes will be seeded if they compete in the weight division in which they are ranked. #1 and #4 shall be placed on one side of the bracket; #2 and #3 shall be placed on the other side. The seeding order shall be in the order of the byes, i.e., if there is 1 bye, #1 shall get it; if there are 2 byes, #'s 1 and 2 shall get them, etc. If any of the top 4 nationally ranked athletes are not in attendance, athletes ranked #5 and below SHALL NOT be seeded, i.e., "moved up" to the next higher seed position.

Regeln für Senior D-Divisionen:

1. IJF-Wettkampfregeln kommen zur Anwendung, einschließlich der Verlängerung "Golden Score".

2. Spieler dürfen nur in einer einzigen Senior Elite-Division antreten.

3. Spieler müssen in der Gewichtskategorie antreten, die ihrem gemessenen Gewicht beim Wiegen entspricht.

Beispiel:

Ein Spieler, der in der 81 kg-Division antreten möchte, muss mehr als 73 kg wiegen und höchstens 81 kg.

AUSNAHME:

Das Männlich-55 kg- und das Weiblich-44 kg-Divisionen sind PJU-Gewichte und keine "Olympic"-Gewichte. Wettkämpfer, deren gemessenes Gewicht sie in eine PJU-Gewichtsdivision einordnen würde, können die nächsthöhere Gewichtsklasse (Männlich 60 kg und Weiblich 48 kg) wählen.
