The professional grappling scene has been rapidly growing in recent years, with ADCC, CJI, WNO, Polaris and UFC Fight Pass Invitational among those ushering the way and improving viewership [and athlete pay](https://www.mmamania.com/2024/8/17/24222790/highlights-nicky-rodriguez-caps-epic-vicious-choke-win-1-million-final-cji-day-2-submission-result). Most professional events are no-gi though, and IBJJF has since created its answer to those with a professional event in the traditional kimono called “The Crown.”

Its inaugural event happened in 2023, and its upcoming second iteration on Nov. 17, 2024, promises to be bigger and better.

The 2024 IBJJF Crown will once again host tournaments across six divisions — four for men, two for women — but brackets have now doubled in size, going from four- to eight-man tournaments.

Several decorated BJJ stars have also been confirmed to be in the roster. This includes four of the six returning winners from the inaugural IBJJF Crown in two-time world champion **Tainan Dalpra** , four-time world champ **Erich Munis** , and eight-time female world champs **Gabrieli Pessanha** and **Luiza Monteiro**.

Last year’s Middleweight winner and [CJI silver medalist](https://www.mmamania.com/2024/8/17/24222306/craig-jones-invitational-results-live-stream-bracket-updates-day-2), **Fellipe Andrew** , is currently unable to participate in IBJJF events, as he is one of the few jiu-jitsu athletes to have been tested and [suspended by USADA](https://www.usada.org/sanction/andrew-leandro-silva-accepts-doping-sanction/).

Outside of the returning champs, the biggest name on the line up is five-time world champion, **Diego “Pato” Oliveira** , who will return to gi competition after recently taking silver at the [2024 ADCC World Championships](https://www.mmamania.com/2024/8/18/24223253/adcc-2024-day-2-results-and-highlights-duarte-subs-lovato-diogo-beats-diego-in-tournament-finals).

The full list of competitors, along with everything else you need to know about the event, can be seen below.

### **Payouts, Rulesets For 2024 IBJJF Crown**

The four men’s divisions will be a condensed version of the typical IBJJF gi weight classes, with Featherweight, Middleweight, Heavyweight and Ultra-Heavyweight. The two women’s divisions will be at Lightweight and Openweight.

For better or worse, every match will again be held under traditional IBJJF rules with points and advantages, for 10 minutes each.

The 2023 IBJJF Crown also had $15,000 prizes for each tournament winner and $3,000 for silver medalists, with smaller purses for the other participants. They revealed that the total payout was an IBJJF record of more than $120,000 in 2023. The larger field of competitors now could help eclipse that total, but no monetary figures were revealed for this 2024 iteration, as of this writing.
