The tournaments sanctioned by Claudio Franca BJJ are known for the qualified and fair referees who run the matches. Their role is to make sure that rules are enforced and the safety of the competitors is the highest priority. As a competitor, knowing the rules is the best way to prepare for a tournament. As a spectator and coach, the best way to follow the tournaments is to know what is happening on the mats and why.
