UNCONTESTED

In an effort to eliminate uncontested categories, USA Judo is going to implement the following:

  • At the draw, if an athlete is uncontested the athlete will have the option to move to the next weight category up.

    • Athletes must choose the category in which they would like to receive points. The athlete will only get points in one category

    • Athlete will forfeit their medal in the uncontested weight category if they move up

    • Athlete may not move two or more weight categories up. Must be the next weight category up

    • Novice divisions may have the option to move to a regular division, regular division may move to the Novice division if they are a white, yellow or orange belt

To request the move up you MUST complete a "Change Request" form at the draw.
