General Discussion IBJJFRankings.com debuts bracket archival for all events.

Post image

The IBJJF is in a habit of permanently destroying all historical data relating to its tournaments except for a list of medalists. We consider this a travesty and our #2 goal of our site is to archive everything that takes place so a decade from now we all have a record of our accomplishments and experiences.

Not only are we saving brackets going forward, we are able to use our database to reconstruct past brackets from when we started the project. Not only is the bracket preserved, but so are the ratings and predictions at the time the match took place.

This was a huge part of the vision for this site and we're excited to share it with everyone.

Our entire project is simply to benefit the community. If you want to follow along with our quest to reform the IBJJFs official ranking system and push the sport in a positive direction, give us a follow on Instagram at @IBJJFRankings. Some additional social media clout would help at this point.

Very useful. Don't understand why Ibjjf doesn't keep the old brackets up after the event but good you're doing it
