About Jiu-Jitsu World League
Jiu Jitsu World League (JJWL) was founded in 2014 by BJJ black belt Rigan Machado and Mathew Tinley, debuting its first event in January 2015. Rather than single-elimination brackets, it runs a season-long points-league model — individual, team, and academy standings accumulate across a series of gi and no-gi events for youth and adult competitors, run mainly in California, Texas, Florida, and the Northeast US.
Rules
Jiu Jitsu World League (JJWL) runs gi and no-gi tournaments for kids and adults using IBJJF-style positional points — but with no advantages. Removing advantages is the ruleset's defining feature: tied matches can't be won on near-misses, which pushes competitors to actually score or finish.
JJWL also operates a season-long league ranking across its events, where wins, submissions, and podium finishes earn ranking points — submission wins are weighted extra. Check the JJWL rulebook for current match rules and division details.
Always confirm the official rulebook before you compete — organizations update rules between seasons. See the official event page for current rules.
