The competition event will run from the morning to early afternoon on 9 April 2022. Admission for individual adult spectators or families is $5. Correct money is appreciated and electronic bank transfer will be available.

Weigh-in for all Players for the State Titles is on Friday 8 April at The Lights (the venue) from 6 to 7pm, at Kazoku Judokan (Reynella East College) from 6.30 to 7.30pm and at Port Augusta Judo Club from 4 to 5pm.

Changes to weight divisions will be allowed at time of weigh-in. If you are unable to weigh-in at this time please contact the Event Coordinator at events@judosa.com.au prior to the day of the event.

Combining divisions: If there is only one entry in a weight or age division, JudoSA may combine divisions to ensure players have a match, taking into account the players’ weight, age and skill level to maximise a safe environment.

Note – The published fight sequence is an estimate, players should use this as a guide only and arrive well in advance of their forecast fight time. The draw is not final and subject to change without notice.

Gi and Safety Requirements

All players competing in the event must have a clean white and blue judogi that meets the size regulations, and females to wear a plain white T-shirt under the gi. The nails of the feet and hands must be cut short. Judogi and nails may be checked at weigh-in.

Mouth Guards: As per the Judo Australia Sporting Code, mouth guards are permitted provided they are properly fitted by a dentist. Unfitted mouth guards shall not be permitted. The player must provide documentation prior to the competition to the Event Coordinator at events@judosa.com.au and the player must also notify the mat Referee that they have a mouth guard each time they enter the mat to compete.
