History
Representing one of the first steps toward internationalization of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the Pan-American Championship has been held annually since 1995. While the first event garnered only 250 athletes, the event has grown every year and now hosts thousands of competitors.[2][4]
The event was last held in Irvine, California, but has been held in other regions of the US in order to boost the expansion of the sport.[2]
The IBJJF gives tournaments weighting which helps calculate the number of points an athlete can win via their participation. For the 2017/2018 IBJJF calendar the Pan American Championship has a weighting of 4 alongside the European Championship (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) making it second in importance only to the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship which has a weighting of 7.[5]
