Registration rank

All players who are in the EGD database will register with a rank corresponding to the most recent GoR. Exceptions to this rule will only be made with the approval of the main referee, based on the recommendation of the players' sensei, or of a stronger player that can vouch for his or her progress. Note that a difference of 2 ranks or higher will automatically determine an EGD rank reset.
Players who do not have GoR will enter the competition with a rank approved by the main referee based on the recommendation of a stronger player that knows the person.
You can check out the rank reset requests at the end of the registration page .
