All athletes who compete in their weight categories are eligible to register for the absolute category (including the competitors not having opponents in her/his weight category).
Missing the fight (with WO decision) or being DQ at weight-in (& uniform check), in addition being DQ because of unsportsmanship, prevents registering to the absolute category.

Absolute category registration opens at the competition arena, and only weight category registration is available prior to the competition.

Note: An athlete proven to be a black belt in judo, have competition experience in freestyle or Greco-Roman wrestling at the nationals level (* In the USA, to have competed at a college level or higher) or to have fought MMA as a professional or amateur at the level of national championship or any international championship, shall not be allowed to enter any FBJJF tournament as a white belt.

Adults with white belts and juveniles with junior belts are allowed to register to the blue belt category. In case the earlier mentioned competitor registers to the blue belt category that competitor is no longer allowed to compete in the white belt category in any of the FBJJF organized competition later on. The earlier mentioned competitor must wear outfit/uniform (including the belt) required in the belt category they compete in. It should be noted that competing in the upper belt category is not a belt upgrade and has no further reflection to outside of the FBJJF competitions.
