Basic concept:

• The combined team skill level cannot exceed 7 (see skill rules below) OR

• If you don’t have a teammate, you must accept a teammate selected for you by tournament staff.

Skill levels are assigned by grade:

• A = 6 points

• B = 5 points

• C = 4 points

• D = 3 points

• E = 2 points

• U = 1 point

‘U’-champ rule: If you have placed 1st in any weapon-based sport or martial arts competition (including Lightspeed Saber), your grade is equal to your current LS grade or a temporary grade as listed below, whichever is higher:

• International competition: B

• National competition: C

• Regional competition: D

• Local competition: E
