Rules are (e.g. IBJJF rule book) that fighters with a 'proven experience' in other martial arts, such as competing in nationwide tournaments, cannot compete as white belts. However, no one seems to be checking competitors' backgrounds, so it is very common in major BJJ competitions to see such experienced fighters smash true white belts (= beginners) and easily win multiple golds.
What are we supposed to do about such cases? Report them to the organizers? Or simply ignore it because no one really cares about white belt medals?
