MAT-SIDE COACHING

  • One coach per competitor is permitted at the mat table inside the barricaded competition area.
  • Competitors ages 18 and older: Matches will not be delayed while waiting for a coach. Delays can affect the entire event schedule, so adult competitors should be prepared to compete when called.
