Thanks everyone for the help, I was able to register

Mad Lurker yes it is an annual event

Mauricio,
I did get through on phone and got all the info and preregistered

you go to this website

http://www.ibjjf.org/

it is in english it has a fill form for registration that you submit right
through the site,

then when you get to Rio you have to stop by thier office to pay the
registration fee. it took 2 minutes total.
The guy I talked to said not to wait until I get there to register.

He also said you wiegh in with Gi on so now Ill be competing up one
division.

Im traveling from NY and staying in Copa.

I've entered the competition the last three years...it is a great tournament. I have to skip this year, but they always hold it at the end of August.

I plan on returning again next year. Good luck!
