There are three ways to compete at the ADCC World Championships: returning champions and podium finishers at the previous  world championships automatically qualify to return. You can either win one of the continental qualifying events (held in various locations around the world), or you receive an invitation. 

The ADCC World Championships men's divisions feature 16 competitors, with eight qualified athletes, seven invitations, and the return of the defending ADCC champion. Women's divisions feature eight competitors, with four qualified athletes, the defending champion, and three invitations. 

The ADCC World Championships also operates in a bracket format starting with the round of 16, win and move on is the name of the game.
