General secretary of ADCC South America Wagner Gomes contacted Guy Neivens, organizer of the event in the United States, requesting information regarding the female weight categories, as athletes had queried him regarding the difference between one category, under 55kg, and the other, over 55kg. The division proposed was different from that of the trials in 2007, when there were four categories, under 55kg, under 60kg, under 67kg and over 67kg, to be disputed.
“We obtained information that the ADCC to be held in New York will have only two weight groups: under 60kg and over 60kg. After receiving this information we updated our site, so now athletes can be aware of what weight they should be at to participate in the event.
