Can a person compete independantly?

[akiraB]

Is it possible to a perso to just enter a comp and not represent a team and just go at it independantly. If so in theory a mblue belt could just say his a purple belt enter the comp and just make up his own club on the form where it asked what team you part of?

[Malcontent]

I don't know, but out of interest why would you want to do this?

[akiraB]

Not that i would do that was just wondering..

[Rob T]

Yeah, obviously you could do this. It's impossible for comp organisers to verify everyone.

Have you never seen the Karate Kid?

On a related issue, what about someone who trains, say, traditional JJ and wanted to enter a comp, would he always be a white belt? Even if he has trained for years and years (at grappling) and is a black belt in trad?
