Veteran Point Criteria
- Points will be awarded by age/weight divisions.
- Points earned at a particular event are current for a maximum of one year, or on the anniversary date of that event (if a regularly scheduled annual event) if its anniversary occurs in less than a year.
- As a clarification, please note that athletes who place fourth in a round robin division will receive third place points on the roster as long as the athlete wins at least one match.
- In order to receive ranking on the USA Judo Master National Roster, an athlete must be eligible to represent the United States in Olympic or World Championship competition.
- Points will be awarded for uncontested divisions
- If divisions are combined due to uncontested divisions, points will only be awarded to the uncontested division (true weight/age category).
