Attention 2010 Worlds competitors:
According to the IBJJF website there are some strict rules regarding placement of gi patches.
http://www.ibjjf.org/rules.htm
Article 13 Rule 9 Shows this image with the proper placement for all your patches:
The Portuguese states “Above the knee”, “Below the knee” -> “Leave a 15cm gap between the patch and the hem of the pants.”
On the back of the pants the patch cannot be wider than 10cm. (Seems butt patches are out.)
Help a friend and pack a seam ripper. People were charging $10 to remove a patch in previous years.
Thank you to Mafu for bringing this to our attention.

What is seems butt patches? Are you talking about the heavy duty patch or cloth patch? Or any butt patch?
