EJIU – BERN ROUND ROBIN 2024

The European Jiu-Jitsu League (EJIU) is hosting a special tournament in Bern in 2024. EJIU is a jiu-jitsu league focused on improving the sport in Europe. They organize tournaments in cities like Barcelona, Zurich, and Geneva. This event in Bern is part of their effort to grow jiu-jitsu in Switzerland, with help from the Swiss Jiu-Jitsu Association.

Tournament Format

The tournament offers two types of competition: GI and NOGI. The GI division uses a single-elimination system, where losing means you’re out. The NOGI division follows a round-robin format, so everyone competes in at least four matches. If there’s a tie, the winner is chosen based on points or head-to-head results. This ensures a fair and fun experience for all competitors.
