19. Judogi Control

Approved Judogi
All Judoka must compete in IJF Approved Judogi (only red label allowed) and Judogis from all IJF
suppliers are allowed (see www.ijf.org Official Supplier List).
Judogi Control
It will be operated with a Sokuteiki prior to the fight. Judogi must have an IJF Official Label
“APPROVED JUDOGI” with an optical code which cannot be falsified. The label will be controlled
with an optical lamp. Each of the competition clothing articles (jacket, trousers and belt) must
have an IJF official label.
Backnumber
Each competitor taking part in the EJU events is obliged to have sewn on the back of his Judogi
the official backnumber (both EJU and IJF are allowed) bearing his surname and his National
Olympic Committee abbreviation. The backnumber can be ordered from
www.mybacknumber.com or www.ijfbacknumber.com (Attention: production and delivery may
take around 4 weeks). The SPONSOR part (if needed) will be given to the head of delegation
during registration, and the athletes can stick it themselves using the special glue on the back
number.
Markings and Advertising
The space on the shoulder stripes (25cm x 5 cm on both right and left side) and on the upper
arms (10cm x 10cm on both right and left side) can be either used for own sponsors of the
Federation or Judoka or EJU Suppliers, BUT not for any other Judogi supplier. The space on
the right chest (5cm x 10cm) can be used by the Judoka for his/her own sponsor. The logo of a
Judogi brand can only be used, if it corresponds with the brand of the Judogi itself and if it is an
EJU Supplier. Further, no logo of a competing brand of the advertising reserved for the
Federation can be used (unless approval granted by the Federation).
The space on the left chest (10cm x 10cm) can be used for the national colours or the national
emblem corresponding with the IOC code on the backnumber (regional emblems are not
allowed).
All other markings on the Judogi, like Judogi brand logos, name of Judoka, etc. have to comply
with the IJF Judogi Rules.
Detailed information is available on http://www.eju.net/statutes.
Important:
• If an athlete does not respect the Judogi rules, the athlete will not be permitted to pass
the Judogi Control, and the coach who is responsible for the athlete will be suspended for
the rest of the competition day.
• The organiser is not obliged to provide reserve Judogi at Judogi Control, but the athlete is
allowed to present himself in another IJF Approved Judogi, complying with the Sokuteiki
rule (and without backnumber) - in this case no coach can go with this athlete to the mat!
• In the case of a repeated offence the coach will be suspended for the rest of the
competition.
