The wait is over and the deadline has passed – we now know who's signed up for No-Gi Worlds.

This is the first year that the IBJJF has required competitors to have ranking points to register. Any adult black belt must have 30 points to sign up, with the exceptions of previous black belt adult world no-gi champions, or brown belt champions in 2018. We've heard that this requirement caught out many competitors, who found themselves without sufficient points to enter. 

Only two of 2018's champs return in the male black belt divisions. Roosterweight Nobuhiro Sawada and light-featherweight Joao MIyao are back to defend their titles. In the women's divisions, only 2018 lightweight champ Catherine Perret of Checkmat is back for a second shot at gold. Mayssa Bastos was light-featherweight champion 2018 but has dropped to roosterweight this year.
