REFUND POLICY:

Registration fees are refundable only if you cancel more than 10 days before the event. Cancellations made within 10 days of the tournament are not eligible for a refund; however, you may request a credit toward a future tournament.

ABSOLUTE DIVISION

The Absolute division will run after all other divisions have concluded, at the end of the tournament.

Due to the many variables athletes face throughout the day—such as injuries, fatigue, or other unforeseen circumstances—it is common for some competitors to withdraw from the Absolute division. To ensure a fair and competitive bracket for those who are prepared to compete, a mandatory roll call will be conducted prior to finalizing the Absolute bracket.

Roll call will generally take place between 6:00–7:00 p.m. (though the exact time may be earlier or later depending on how the tournament progresses). All athletes wishing to compete in the Absolute must check in at this time. Even if you are competing in another division, you are still required to check in. A coach or teammate may check in on your behalf if necessary. Please note that if you do not check in at roll call, you will be removed from the bracket. Additionally, athletes who withdraw after check-in—or are removed for failing to check in—will forfeit their registration fee.

NOT ALLOWED AT ANY ADCC EVENTS:

Close outs: Teammates, friends, etc not having a real match if they meet in a bracket. Sandbagging: Signing up for a lower skill level or younger age group (masters signing up for adult is permitted). Please notify us if you see a competitor you suspect is sandbagging. Doing either of these may result in a permanent ban from all ADCC events, even on the first offense.

Sandbagging policy:

If an athlete wins 3 gold medals in any higher skill division, they are no longer allowed to move back down to a lower division — regardless of their belt rank. For youth athletes, this means once they win 3 golds in a higher division, they must stay in that division until they move up to the next age group.

例如：如果一个 11–12 岁的灰带在高级组赢得三枚金牌，他们必须在 11–12 岁组内保持在该高级，直到他们升级到下一个年龄段为止（若进入成人组则永久保留在该级别）。

如果运动员在同一技能分组中赢得5枚金牌，则无论其当前腰带等级或晋级状态如何，都必须晋升到下一个更高级别。
