One of the default settings in the smoothcomp system is that once a competitor turns 16 and has a rank (other than WHITE BELT) they will only be eligible to compete as a BLUE BELT in ALL smoothcomp tournaments.
Unfortunately, there isn't much that we can do with this setting and it will also be applied in the AFBJJ and IFBJJ tournaments.
We ask that all Juveniles that fall into this category MUST wear a BLUE BELT when competing, even if you haven't been graded (yet).
Thank you for your understanding, we look forward to seeing you all soon.
