INDIVIDUAL & TEAM AWARDS
Over 700 gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to all 1st through 3rd place winners.  All 6 of our top teams (Adult Gi, No-Gi & Children 17 yrs. & under) will receive a custom made Championship Banner for their academy.  Please note that school points cannot be combined.  For example; Team Renzo Gracie cannot be combined with Team Serra even though they are affiliated.  The school name listed on the competitor’s registration card is the school that the points will be awarded to.

NO-GI & GI ON SATURDAY
We realize that it can be inconvenient and expensive to have competitors stay for two days to compete.  To make things easier and more affordable, all children and adult divisions (Gi & No-Gi) will take place on Saturday.  This schedule will allow competitors to enjoy more time at the Sports Festival.

WEIGH-INS AND REGISTRATION OPTIONS
Competitors will have the option to weigh-in on Friday evening, or weigh-in and register on Saturday any time before you compete.  This means you can weigh-in and compete in both gi & no-gi competition all in one day.  You are not required to weigh-in on Friday, but the option is available to you.  Weigh-ins will take place from 5 PM to 8 PM at the venue.

EUROPA EVENT IS NATIONALLY RANKED
