🤼♂️ ICO World Qualifiers FAQ

Your path to Team USA & Worlds France 2026 🇺🇸🇫🇷


🥇 Only one in my division – do I auto-qualify?

No. If you're the only registrant, you must move up a weight class and win gold in at least one live match to earn your Team USA spot. Solo entries don’t guarantee a slot. 🏅


⚔️ Bracket Style?

Single Elimination. One loss = out. Bring your A-game! 🔥


🌟 How do I lock in Team USA?

Win GOLD in any Gi or No-Gi ICO World Qualifier division. That’s your ticket! 🎟️


📬 What happens after I win?

  1. Welcome Letter – Official confirmation of your Team USA spot (great for sponsors!).
  2. March/April 2026 – Detailed Worlds info packet (schedule, travel, etc.).

🚨 Note: Winning does NOT include travel funding. All costs for France 2026 are on you.


👕 Gear & Uniforms

  • ICO provides: Official Team USA warm-up suit (included in Worlds registration).
