The Senior Finnish Open is for athletes born in 1983 or before. The athlete is NOT required to have had his/her 36th birthday before the competition. Fighting in the Senior category does NOT prevent competing in the adult category in other FBJJF tournaments.

The FBJJF sponsors the male colored belt champions (7 pcs), all the male absolute category champions (2 pcs) and the female absolute category champions (2 pcs) with 100 euros for the traveling costs to the IBJJF European Open 2020. The FBJJF sponsorship is for the individual athlete and may not be transferred or sold.

All athletes who compete in their weight categories are eligible to register for the absolute category. Absolute category registration opens at the competition arena, and only weight category registration is available prior to the competition.

If the athlete is the only one in the weight category, he/she can retract the registration before the competition day and will be refunded. In this case, competing in the open weight category is not allowed.


WEIGH IN

Weigh-in will be with the kimono right before the first fight. If a fighter does not make the weight, he/she will be disqualified.

Allowed kimono colors are white, blue and black. The jacket and the pants must be of the same color. Allowed patch locations can be found on the IBJJF website.
