Black Belts must also have a minimum of 2 AZMARRS tournaments competed in during the year. (THIS RULE IS WAIVED FOR THE 2024 STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS)

How to find out if you are in the Top 8: Go to any division and count down 8 people. If you are in the first 8 names or if you tie with the 8th person, you are in the Top 8.
