Athlete Information

Take a look at all the information about the competitions included in the GB Oceania Ambassador Program!

Idea

We are going to follow the Australian ranking so it would be easier to control the athlete’s points. For the competitions that are not on the Australian ranking, the points would be given according to a table created and published by GB Oceania.

All results will be collated into the GB Oceania Internal Rankings. To view the GB Oceania Internal Rankings, please click here.

The final competition that will give points to the GB Oceania Ambassador Program's Internal Rankings is the IBJJF Pan Pacific Championships. No competitions in November or December will give points to the GB Oceania Ambassador Program's Internal Rankings.

Weight of the Championships

Please note the only recognised tournament bodies for the GB Oceania Ambassador Program are:

– AFBJJ

– IBJJF

– AJP

– Any Compnet worldwide

Please have a look below for the full weighting of the championships throughout 2023.

Ranking Points

Please check below for how points will be allocated for performance at competitions.

Note: The GB Oceania internal Rankings will award points for 4th place, if the competition also awards points for 4th place. If the competition does not award points for 4th, then the athlete will not be awarded any points towards their GB Oceania Internal Ranking.

Note: There will be no points awarded for Masters divisions in competitions.

GB Athletes Selected

The positions available for GB Oceania Ambassadors in 2024 are:

Adults & Juveniles - 7 Positions

- 1 guaranteed position for an Adult Black Belt

- 1 guaranteed position for an Adult Brown Belt

- 5 positions for Adult Blue, Purple, Brownor Black Belts (combined division)

- Male & Female

Kids - 3 positions

- Minimum Grey/White Belt and at least 10 years old

The Juvenile position will be contested amongst the Adults as they have the ability to compete in open weight divisions. This would make it unfair in the Kids division.
