Description
Ranking-500 tournaments are organised by the Swiss Judo Federation (SJV).
These tournaments follow the so-called "pool system", where each competitor in each weight class is placed in a pool to determine who they will fight first. This is usually done by a random draw.
Each competitor gets a chance to fight everyone in their pool and only the best fighters move on to the next pool.
It's a good opportunity for beginners as well as experienced fighters, as everyone gets the chance to fight several times, regardless of the results.
