Organized by the Monegasque Judo Federation, this event will also mark the 50th anniversary of the institution. On this occasion, the Gérard Bertrand Trophy, which has taken the name of the president of the association since 2015, will put fourteen teams of seven fighters in competition, one per weight category, and the first to win four fights will be declared the winner. The tournament will take place in a single-elimination format with automatic repechage.
For the occasion, the Gaston Médecin room will begin a transformation to accommodate the hundred judokas while it usually welcomes basketball players from the Roca Team.
