Weight classes in BJJ

Can anyone explain how the BJJ tournaments are setup? Weight classes, belt levels etc...

Any information would be most helpful.

Thanks,

SZ

The actual weight catagories can differ from tourney to tourney.
Usually fighters are divided into age catagories, then by weight.
Good luck getting in the proper division if you plan to compete!
Every tourney I've been in I had to go in a heavier division against younger opponents.
