Categories and rulebook

In the wizard’s second step every active rulebook has its own section. You always start from the official one and change only the exceptions: everything you don’t touch stays as the federation writes it.

  • Base fee: the entry fee for all the rulebook’s categories.
  • Early bird and early-bird deadline: the reduced fee for people who register early.
  • On each category you can set a fee different from the base one.

Categories come from the rulebook, grouped by age and, in BJJ, by belt. For each you can:

  • turn it off, if your event doesn’t include it;
  • duplicate it onto other belts;
  • change its display name and add a short description for the public page.

With Aggiungi categoria custom (add custom category) you create a new one: age, belt, gender, minimum and maximum weight, fee. It appears in the right group, marked as custom.

Rule What you choose
Match time The duration for each age division
Tie-break How a level match is decided when time runs out: extra rounds, golden score or referee decision
Third places In single-elimination categories: two third places for the semi-final losers, or fought through repechage
Challenge Whether the referee table can record a video review request. Turn it on only if the organisation has the video system

Every change to tie-break, third places and challenge asks for confirmation, because the bracket and schedule previews are redone. Once the event has started these choices can no longer change.

Duo has categories by age and gender, with no weight, and a section with its own rules:

  • Jury judges: three or five. With five judges the highest and lowest score of each attack are dropped.
  • Allow couples from different clubs: as a rule a couple belongs to the same club.
  • Estimated slot length: Duo has no clock, but the mat schedule needs to know how long a match takes.
