Brave Jiu-Jitsu Bracketing Methodology: Days of Life (DOL) System
Brave BJJ uses a unique bracketing system, the Days of Life (DOL) Bracketing Methodology, to ensure fair and competitive matchups.
This system considers an athlete’s exact age in days rather than just their birth year, leading to more precise and equitable brackets.
Days of Life (DOL) Bracketing
Traditional bracketing systems rely on broad age groups defined by birth year, which can create significant developmental differences among competitors. Brave BJJ's DOL system refines this by considering the exact number of days an athlete has been alive, resulting in closer, fairer age groupings.
Accuracy is Critical
- Competitors and their guardians must double-check all registration details (age, weight, and experience).
- If there are any errors, corrections must be made immediately.
Commitment to Competitor Experience
- If no match is found within the set parameters, Brave BJJ actively searches for suitable opponents.
- Parents will be notified of any adjustments or potential matchups before finalizing the brackets.
- The goal is to ensure everyone has the opportunity to compete in a fair and balanced division.
