2025 Event Ranking System

The new and exclusive Jiu Jitsu World League Advanced Points System (APS) recognizes and rewards competitors' achievements across and according to belt levels.

All competitors will continue to earn points for wins, submissions, and overall tournament accomplishments. Starting in 2025, competitors in upper-level belts will benefit from a bonus point multiplier for wins and submissions. Additionally, a separate bonus point multiplier will apply to podium points for upper-level belts, ensuring their achievements are acknowledged and rewarded at a higher level.

The points earned under the new APS will contribute to all team competitions and standings, including individual Academy, Organization, and Elite 8 rankings.

Important: Competitors must win one match to receive the Podium Multiplier.

Points Calculation System

The JJWL Advanced Points System is built on three fundamental pillars of competition success:

Total Points = (Podium Points × Podium Multiplier) (Submission Points × Event Factor × Match Multiplier) (Win Points × Event Factor × Match Multiplier)
