1. When are weigh-ins?
Weigh-ins will take place in the bullpen just prior to your division going out onto the mat to compete. Look at the schedule to determine the time you need to be in the bullpen.
2. Do I have to wear my gi when weighing-in?
Yes. Gi division weights take into account your gi. The gi (in its entirety) needs to be worn during weigh-ins.
3. Do I have to weigh-in twice if I'm doing Gi and No-gi?
Yes. Again, please check the schedule to know what time you need to report to the bullpen.
4. If I don't make weight, can I just go up to the next division?
No. You will be disqualified. It is the athlete's responsibility to make the weight that they reported on their registration. Brackets are setup according to those weights. If in doubt, shoot high and play it safe.
5. How many matches will I get?
It depends on you and how you perform ... however, the Oregon Open is a double elimination tournament. So you will keep going until you either win or lose two matches.
