IBJJF Worlds 2026 Bracket Breakdown: The Key Matchups in Every Black Belt Division

How to read this bracket

This is the matchup-by-matchup companion to our IBJJF Worlds 2026 preview & predictions. The preview covered who wins each division; this breakdown covers the specific match that decides it — head-to-head history, the stylistic clash, and how it likely plays out. The 2026 season produced an unusually clean data set: every Adult Black Belt division has at least one Euros vs. Pans champion meeting that has not yet happened at a major. Worlds is where most of those meetings finally take place.

A recurring pattern across the year is the "tactical 2–0 / 4–2 final" — the 2026 Pans heavyweight final was decided on penalties; medium-heavy on a single advantage; women's rooster on 1–0. Expect at least four Adult Black Belt golds at Worlds to come down to the same. The other recurring pattern: AOJ vs. Atos as the team-race subplot. With AOJ holding three of the top four men's IBJJF rankings and Atos anchoring the women's team race, almost every weight class has a version of that rivalry built in.

For the broad picks (favorite / challenger / dark horse per division), go to the preview & predictions post; this one assumes you've already read it.

Men's bracket: the matchup that decides each division

Rooster (57.5 kg) — Fonacier vs. Danforth, Euros final rematch

The match to watch: Jalen Fonacier vs. Tadiyah Danforth. Fonacier beat Danforth via armbar in the 2026 Euros final (BJJ Heroes Euros recap). Danforth went the distance with him — reached the final, won a 10×10 / 6×3 advantages semi over Yuri Silva, and lost only to a clean finishing sequence. The gap is closer than the final scoreline suggests.

Fonacier's path at rooster runs on submission threat — he won the rooster bracket at Euros with a back-take to omoplata over Samuel Marquez and the armbar over Danforth. Danforth's strength is the long match: he's stylistically suited to grinding rooster finals out on advantages, which is what made his Euros semi-final go to 10×10 in points.

How it likely plays out: Danforth knows what's coming. The question is whether he's added enough armbar defense to neutralize Fonacier's signature finish without bleeding points on the recovery. If he can, this is a 2–0 / 3–0 grinder. If not, Fonacier ends it the same way.

Light Feather (64 kg) — Diego "Pato" Oliveira's grand-slam closer

The match to watch: Diego "Pato" Oliveira vs. Shoya Ishiguro. Pato beat Ishiguro 8–2 in the Pans final (Digitsu 2026 Pans). At Euros, Pato won 64kg by closing out the final with teammate Gustavo Ogawa. Ishiguro reached the Pans final by surviving the bracket; he's the most-tested name behind Pato.

Pato's style is seated guard → K-guard → cross-sleeve to matrix back-take. He's one of the most dangerous back-takers pound-for-pound in modern gi jiu-jitsu. The realistic upset path against him is wrestling-heavy guard-top strategy combined with lapel entanglements — but no one has executed it cleanly against him at a major in 18+ months.

How it likely plays out: Pato pulls or sits, hunts the back via cross-sleeve, scores 4 points on a back-take and adds passing points to close out 8–2 again. If Ishiguro forces double-guard-pull into 50/50, the score gets closer but the result usually doesn't change.

Feather (70 kg) — Cole Abate vs. Kennedy Maciel, the trilogy

The match to watch: Cole Abate (Atos) vs. Kennedy Maciel (Alliance). The cleanest matchup-history story on the men's card. Maciel beat Abate 2–2 on advantages in the 2025 Euros 70kg quarterfinal and again 4–2 in the 2026 Euros final in January; Abate won Pans 2026 without facing Maciel (Maciel didn't make the Pans final). Head-to-head at majors is 2–0 Maciel. Worlds is the third meeting.

Abate plays modern Atos — De La Riva, K-guard, berimbolo / crab-ride backtakes, with aggressive sweep-to-top transitions when he comes up. Maciel plays Cobrinha lineage — wrestling-for-jiu-jitsu, single-leg entries, back-taking from both top and bottom. They're stylistically opposite top-of-the-mat: Maciel wants the standing exchange and top position; Abate wants the seated guard and the back.

How it likely plays out: Whoever scores the first 2-point exchange wins. The 2026 Euros 4–2 final was decided by Maciel's first takedown / sweep beating Abate's. Maciel has the 2–0 head-to-head edge going in, but the gap is narrower than that number suggests — both matches were decided by a single positional exchange. Layered off-balancing (shin-on-shin → K-guard → cross-sleeve) is Abate's path to finally flipping it; staying square and forcing single-hook entries is Maciel's path to closing the trilogy 3–0.

Light (76 kg) — Wilson vs. Nagai, Pans final rematch

The match to watch: Will Wilson (Carlson Gracie) vs. Jackson Nagai (Checkmat). Nagai beat Wilson 4–1 on advantages after a 2–2 points tie in the Pans final. Wilson had won Euros 76kg in January over Mateo Cardona — meaning Wilson has the Euros gold, Nagai has the Pans gold, and they've already met. Head-to-head at majors: 1–0 Nagai, by the slimmest possible margin.

Wilson plays collar-and-sleeve guard with off-balancing into single-leg X; technical stand-ups; knee-cut and long-step passing on top. Nagai is Checkmat top pressure — strong closed-guard defense, good wrestling, comes on top early and grinds out methodical passes and sweeps.

How it likely plays out: Wilson needs to force standing scrambles and convert them to back-takes; if Nagai stays square and gets on top first, the script repeats and Wilson loses on advantages again. A single advantage probably decides this one — like Pans.

Middle (82.3 kg) — Dalpra vs. anyone, but really Dalpra vs. Dorsey

The match to watch: Tainan Dalpra (AOJ) vs. Elijah Dorsey (Team Lloyd Irvin). Dalpra is the defending 2025 Worlds champ, 2026 Euros champ, and 2026 Pans champ — and he beat Dorsey 9–0 in the Pans middleweight final, one of the most dominant scorelines of the entire Pan weekend. There is no closer name to him in the division.

Dalpra's game: aggressive collar-and-sleeve / lapel guard, collar drag to back, knee-cut + leg-staple + X-pass on top. The pattern is the same every match — relentless forward pressure, low-risk, big margins. Dorsey has explosive guard and a strong back-control finishing game, but the 9–0 result suggests Dalpra is stylistically very comfortable with that profile.

How it likely plays out: Dalpra forces seated guard, attacks toreando, builds a large points lead. The match Dorsey needs is a fast early sweep or a 50/50 entry into a leg attack — anything that disrupts Dalpra's tempo before he passes. The Pans final showed he didn't get it. Worlds isn't likely different unless someone else drops to middle (Mica Galvão eligibility being the perennial outside scenario).

Medium Heavy (88.3 kg) — Alves vs. Dias, first meeting at a major

The match to watch: Eduardo Alves (Alliance) vs. Enderson Dias. Alves won Euros 88kg with a 4–2 final over Luiz Maxnuk; Dias won Pans 88kg with a 2–1 advantages decision over Alex Munis after the match ended 2–2 on points. They have not yet faced each other at a major. Worlds is the first.

Alves is the Alliance pressure passer — patient 4–2 wins on positional control. Dias is the tactician — the 2–1 advantages decision is his signature. Neither blows opponents out. Both win by 1–2 points or by a single advantage.

How it likely plays out: This is the definitional tactical 4–2 final waiting to happen. Whoever scores the first takedown / sweep wins, the other tries to recover an advantage or sneak a re-sweep. The risk both bring is identical — neither is reckless enough to gift a takedown back. Expect a final decided in the last 90 seconds.

Heavy (94.3 kg) — Ferreira vs. Wardzinski, the lurking heavyweight

The match to watch: Leonardo Ferreira (Alliance) vs. Adam Wardzinski (Checkmat). Ferreira won Euros 94kg with a choke from the back over Matheus Vetoraci. Wardzinski is the defending 2025 Worlds 94kg champion but had no notable top-three placings at Euros or Pans 2026, making his Worlds entry status uncertain. If he enters, this is the heavyweight final waiting to happen — they have no prior major head-to-head.

Wardzinski's game is built on butterfly guard + single-leg X with lapel grips — the most distinctive bottom game in the heavyweight division. From top, he uses knee-cut and smash half. Ferreira is more classically rounded: takedowns, top pressure, solid closed/open guard, less specialized but stylistically very hard to break.

How it likely plays out: Wardzinski will pull guard and hunt butterfly hooks under Ferreira's knees within the first 30 seconds. Ferreira's only path is to flatten that butterfly — staple the leg, force Wardzinski's hips down — and rack up passing points. If Ferreira lets Wardzinski elevate even once, the sweep + back-take + finish sequence is the most predictable in the division.

If Wardzinski isn't entered, the heavy final becomes Ferreira vs. Luiz Felipe Assis 'Felipinho', the Pans heavy champion (who won on penalties over Rider Zuchi in the closest possible result). Felipinho proved at Pans that he can survive the deep water; expect a 1–0 advantages decision in that scenario.

Super Heavy (100.5 kg) — Munis vs. Liberati teammate dynamics

The match to watch: Erich Munis (Soldiers JJ) vs. Vinicius Liberati (Soldiers JJ). These are teammates who closed out the Euros 100kg final together. At Pans, neither closed out — Nolan Stuart beat Liberati 6–4 in the Pans final, with Munis not in that bracket. At Worlds, if both enter at 100kg and end up on opposite sides, Soldiers JJ will likely close out again rather than fight each other.

Munis is the IBJJF men's #1 ranked athlete (1,422 points). His game is modern big-man mobility — lasso/spider guard, berimbolo and back-take for his size, knee-cut + smash half on top. There's no current 100kg name with a clean win over him in the gi at a major. The closest historical challenges have come from Kaynan Duarte (mostly in no-gi), Victor Hugo, and Felipe Andrew — all decided on advantages.

How it likely plays out: If a non-Soldiers name reaches the final — most likely Nolan Stuart, who beat Liberati at Pans — expect a tactical 2–0 / 4–2 Munis win on positional control. The bracket math is more interesting than the final itself.

Ultra Heavy (+100.5 kg) — Houmine vs. Pedro Alex, teammate closeout pattern

The match to watch: Seif-Eddine Houmine (GFT) vs. Pedro Alex. They closed out the Euros +100kg final together rather than fight. At Pans, Houmine won ultra-heavy via north-south choke over Anderson Kauã; Pedro Alex was not in the Pans bracket. If both reach the Worlds final, GFT closes out again — making the more interesting question whether Roosevelt Sousa, the defending 2025 Worlds ultra-heavy champion, derails it.

Houmine's style is wrestling (double-leg, body-lock) → top pressure → north-south choke + paper-cutter chokes. He's a big man who moves well, with the season's most reliable finishing path at ultra-heavy. On bottom, he plays half-guard with underhook and looks to stand or sweep rather than invert.

How it likely plays out: If Roosevelt Sousa enters and reaches the final, the upset path is the takedown → pressure trade. Houmine's finishing rate makes him the favorite; Sousa's experience at this exact stage (Worlds final) makes him the spoiler candidate. If Sousa isn't entered, it's a Houmine / Pedro Alex closeout.

Women's bracket: the matchup that decides each division

Rooster (48.5 kg) — Bastos vs. Loureiro, second meeting

The match to watch: Mayssa Bastos (AOJ) vs. Thais Loureiro (Atos). Loureiro beat Bastos 2–0 in the Euros final — the first Bastos defeat at a major in years. They have no documented prior major meeting before that. At Pans, Bastos didn't face Loureiro (Bastos closed out the bracket with teammate Ashlee Funegra). Worlds is the second meeting.

Bastos's game is ultra-technical open guard — berimbolo, crab ride, leg-drag back-takes, efficient leg pummeling from De La Riva and reverse DLR. Top control for her size is exceptional. Loureiro is more wrestling-comfortable for rooster — starts on the feet, plays a sit-up / De La Riva guard, technical stand-up sweeps rather than deep inverts.

How it likely plays out: Bastos pulls guard immediately. Loureiro tries to delay grips and hunt the early takedown — exactly the Euros pattern. Once on the ground, it's about who imposes the first sweep. Bastos goes for berimbolo; Loureiro for the conservative single-pass-or-sweep tactical win. The Euros result favors Loureiro by a single takedown's worth of work; Bastos's depth of experience tilts the rematch back the other direction. Expect another 2–0 / 3–0 result.

Light Feather (53.5 kg) — the Funegra twins bracket

The match to watch: Mia Funegra vs. Ashlee Funegra (if drawn apart). The Funegra twins are both AOJ black belts. Mia is the defending 2025 Worlds 53kg champion; Ashlee won the 2026 Euros 53kg final via choke from the back over Josefine Modig. At Pans, AOJ closed out the bracket — meaning either both twins were entered, or Mayssa Bastos joined them at 53kg. If both Funegras reach the Worlds final, AOJ closes out again.

If they're drawn on the same side, the more interesting match is whichever twin meets Josefine Modig — who lost the Euros final to Ashlee. Modig is the most credible non-AOJ name in a thin division.

How it likely plays out: AOJ closeout if the twins reach the final. If they're drawn apart, both Funegras likely reach the semis from opposite sides; a third name reaches the final by surviving the side without them — which is the Modig path, if it exists.

Feather (58.5 kg) — Moura vs. Ciccarelli, both Campos-killers

The match to watch: Cassia Moura (LEAD) vs. Margot Ciccarelli. Moura won the Euros 58kg final 4–2 over Larissa Campos (the defending 2025 Worlds champion); Ciccarelli won the Pans 58kg final via decision over Campos. Two different 2026 champions, both with a clean win over the defending Worlds champion, and they have not yet faced each other at a major. Worlds is the first meeting.

Both wins over Campos were close — 4–2 and a decision. The question Worlds answers: which version of "beating Campos" travels better against the other.

How it likely plays out: This is the most genuinely unpredictable women's division at Worlds 2026. Both contenders have proven they can beat the previous gold medalist; neither has been tested against the other; Campos herself remains the dark horse with the Worlds résumé. Expect a final decided by one exchange — sweep, pass, or referee decision.

Light (64 kg) — Galvão vs. Lebre, Pans final rematch

The match to watch: Sarah Galvão (Atos) vs. Janaina Lebre (AOJ). Galvão beat Lebre via referee decision in the Pans lightweight final after a passing battle. Galvão also won Euros 63kg by closing out with Tamara Toros. Lebre is the defending 2025 Worlds 63kg champion and the most credible opposition to Galvão's grand-slam run.

Galvão's broader 2026: Pans double gold (lightweight + absolute), beat Pessanha 6–0 in the absolute final. She is the hottest name in women's gi this season. Lebre's game is built on lapel control + rhythm disruption; Galvão's counter is volume and persistent passing.

How it likely plays out: Galvão attacks the passes early, Lebre lapels up and stalls; the match plays out as a passing-vs-distance battle and gets decided by referee decision again or by 1–2 points on Galvão's first clean pass. Galvão is the favorite, but Lebre is the kind of opponent who turns a 6–0 into a 2–0 just by surviving the volume.

Middle (69 kg) — Martins vs. Marchand, Euros vs. Pans champion meeting

The match to watch: Larissa Martins (Dream Art) vs. Lillian Marchand. Martins won Euros 69kg 3–0 over Amanda Schrutz; Marchand won Pans 69kg by armbar over Elisabeth Clay. First meeting at a major.

Martins's signature is patient top pressure that grinds out 3–0 wins. Marchand's signature is the armbar in a final — which forces opponents into safer game plans and changes match dynamics before the first exchange even happens.

How it likely plays out: Martins will try to play exactly the match she played at Euros — score early, control the top, ride out the clock. Marchand will hunt the arm aggressively from any inverted or back-mount position. If Martins gives Marchand a single guard pass attempt that exposes the arm, the match flips. Otherwise: 3–0 / 4–0 Martins on tempo control.

Medium Heavy (74 kg) — Krahn vs. Mitrovic, Euros vs. Pans champion meeting

The match to watch: Denise Krahn (Hilti BJJ) vs. Elizabeth Mitrovic. Krahn won Euros 74kg by decision over Ingridd Alves; Mitrovic won Pans 74kg 4–2 over Maria Vicentini. First meeting at a major. The most underrated final on the women's card.

Both win on tempo and detail rather than spectacular finishes. Neither is a back-take specialist; both are positional grinders.

How it likely plays out: Another genuine 2–0 / 4–2 final. Decided by which competitor commits to fewer mistakes — exactly the kind of match that produces a referee decision after a 0–0 / 1–1 advantages match. Expect a sub-3-point scoreline.

Heavy (79.3 kg) — Dias vs. Lopez, first meeting at a major

The match to watch: Larissa Dias (R1NG) vs. Anabel Lopez. Dias is the defending 2025 Worlds 79kg champion and 2026 Pans heavy champion (beat Maria Malyjasiak 3–0). IBJJF women's #2 ranked, 1,560 points — the closest current name to Pessanha. Lopez won Euros 79kg 4–2 over Yara Soares. They have no prior major head-to-head.

Dias plays a balanced heavy game — comfortable on top or bottom, uses half-guard + knee-shield with underhook sweeps, smash-passing on top. Lopez is more movement-oriented for a heavy — lasso/spider, some inversion, beat Soares at Euros by out-maneuvering pressure.

How it likely plays out: Dias will try to get on top and stay on top. Lopez will pull and play a more dynamic open guard. If Dias can flatten Lopez's guard into half or side control, the match is hers; if Lopez can keep distance with lasso/spider and rack up sweeps, the result tilts. The bigger reach Dias has (top pressure, smash passing) beats the more interesting style Lopez brings (movement, scrambles) in a long match — but Lopez is the kind of opponent who can steal a sweep in the first 90 seconds and ride it out.

Super Heavy (+79.3 kg) — Pessanha vs. the bracket

The match to watch: Gabrieli Pessanha (InFight) vs. Marina Carraro. Pessanha is the IBJJF women's #1 ranked athlete (3,033 points) — nearly double the second-ranked competitor — and triple champion in 2026 across +79kg and absolute. She beat Carraro in the Euros +79kg final via smother tap. Carraro is the most credible challenger by 2026 results and the only super-heavy who has reached a final against Pessanha this season.

Pessanha's game is heavy pressure top, big-woman takedowns, crushing side and mount. From guard she uses closed and lapel and focuses on sweeps to top. The submission rate is what separates her from the rest of the field — she finishes finals.

How it likely plays out: Pessanha gets on top within 90 seconds, controls the round, and finishes in the second half — same script as Euros and Pans. The interest is whether Carraro can frame strongly enough to survive past the 5-minute mark.

Absolute division: the matchups that define the bracket

Men's Absolute — Munis vs. Veloso vs. Dalpra

The match to watch: Erich Munis vs. Gabriel "Veloso" Ribeiro. They closed out the 2026 Euros men's absolute final together. At Pans, post-event recap reporting lists Veloso as the men's absolute champion (with live FloGrappling coverage being ambiguous on the final due to broadcast cutoff). Munis is the defending 2025 Worlds absolute champion. If both enter the Worlds absolute, the bracket math forces the question: does Soldiers JJ close out again, or does the Worlds bracket draw them apart?

The third name on the board: Tainan Dalpra. He has historically entered absolute on top of his middleweight defense, and he is a podium pick even at a 20+ kg size disadvantage. Dalpra's path through absolute is built on the same collar-drag → back system that wins him middleweight finals — and the back position is the size-equalizer.

How it likely plays out: If Munis and Veloso are drawn together, Soldiers JJ closes out and absolute gold is settled by team strategy rather than a match. If they're drawn apart, expect Veloso to reach the final via the submission-heavy lower half of the bracket and Munis via the top — and a 2–0 / 4–2 Munis-Veloso final. Dalpra is the podium pick from the heavier division upset path.

Women's Absolute — Pessanha vs. Galvão, rubber match

The match to watch: Gabrieli Pessanha vs. Sarah Galvão. This is the defining matchup of the women's card. They have already met twice in 2026 and are 1–1: Pessanha won the Euros absolute final on advantages (0–0, 2x1 adv) in January; Galvão came back at Pans and won 6–0 in the absolute final — a single-leg takedown, back-take, and four points of back control in the final minute. Galvão's win was the more decisive of the two, but Pessanha got the first one. Before 2026, they had no documented prior major matches.

Pessanha holds a significant size and strength advantage. Her game is heavy pressure top — get on top, crush side and mount, hunt the smother / paper-cutter choke. Galvão neutralizes the size advantage by forcing scrambles and angles rather than lock-horns pressure. Her open guard (spider, lasso, DLR) and her ability to invert to the back are what produced the Pans result.

How it likely plays out: Pessanha tries to flatten Galvão's guard early; Galvão lassoes / spider / inverts to deny the pressure. If Pessanha can't get on top in the first 3 minutes, the match tilts toward Galvão's scrambles and angles — the Pans script. If Pessanha gets on top early, the match tilts the other way — the Worlds 2025 script. Genuinely a coin flip; possibly the highest-stakes individual match of the entire event.

The dark horse in the women's absolute is Beatrice Jin, who reached the Pans women's absolute podium (third). Quiet but consistent — not a winner of the bracket, but a name that can derail a top-3 seed.

Bracket-math takeaways

A few patterns that run across the entire Adult Black Belt card and that are worth holding in mind as the brackets release:

Five divisions have a true Euros vs. Pans first-meeting final: men's heavy, men's medium-heavy, women's middle, women's medium-heavy, women's heavy. These are the divisions where there is no head-to-head data and form has to substitute.
Three divisions have a 2026 rematch: men's 76kg (Wilson-Nagai, from Pans), women's 64kg (Galvão-Lebre, from Pans), women's 48kg (Bastos-Loureiro, from Euros). Rematches usually flip about 30% of the time — meaning two probably hold form, one probably flips.
Two divisions have a teammate-closeout pattern from Euros that may repeat: men's 100kg (Munis-Liberati closed out Euros), men's +100kg (Houmine-Pedro Alex closed out Euros). At women's 53kg, AOJ has three Worlds-credible names (Mia Funegra, Ashlee Funegra, and Mayssa Bastos if she moves up) and closed out the Pans 53kg bracket (Bastos / Ashlee) — making the same closeout dynamic plausible at Worlds, even though the Euros 53kg final was won outright by Ashlee over Modig.
One division is genuinely settled in advance: men's middleweight. Tainan Dalpra is the heaviest favorite on the entire card at any weight, men's or women's.
One match is genuinely event-defining: women's absolute, Pessanha vs. Galvão. The closest a 2026 women's match has come to peer-level competition for Pessanha.

Common questions

When are the Adult Black Belt finals at Worlds 2026?

Adult Black Belt finals at IBJJF Worlds 2026 are scheduled for the final day of the event, Sunday May 31. Preliminary rounds for Adult Black Belt typically run Friday and Saturday. The official schedule is on the IBJJF Worlds 2026 event page; the complete Worlds 2026 guide covers day-by-day logistics.

How are IBJJF brackets seeded?

IBJJF brackets are seeded based on the athlete's current IBJJF ranking position at the time of registration. The top-ranked competitors in each division are placed on opposite sides of the bracket to delay a possible meeting until the final. This is why Erich Munis (men's #1) and Gabrieli Pessanha (women's #1) almost always have to win 4–5 matches to reach the final — the bracket is designed to keep the top seeds apart.

Has anyone done a 2026 Euros / Pans / Worlds gi grand slam in the same year?

The IBJJF grand slam — winning Europeans, Pans, and Worlds at the same weight in one calendar year — is rare but not unheard of. The 2026 athletes currently positioned for it: Diego "Pato" Oliveira (men's 64kg), Tainan Dalpra (men's 82kg), and Gabrieli Pessanha (women's +79kg and absolute). Each has Euros and Pans gold and would complete it with a Worlds title May 31.

Who is the most likely upset pick at Worlds 2026?

Based on the bracket data, the most likely upset across the entire Adult Black Belt card is Mayssa Bastos reclaiming rooster from Thais Loureiro. Loureiro won the head-to-head at Euros, but Bastos's Worlds depth (multi-time former champion) and AOJ structure make a rematch flip likelier than a typical "challenger holds gold" scenario.

Where can I watch the brackets and live results?

The official IBJJF brackets are published on the IBJJF event page once registration closes (typically 24-48 hours before the event). Live results are tracked on the IBJJF database during the event. FloGrappling provides live streaming and a live-blog-style updates feed. The complete watching guide for Worlds 2026 (streaming, schedule, time zones) is in our separate Worlds 2026 viewing post.

Track your own bracket prep

If you're competing yourself this season — at an Open, at Master Worlds in September, or building toward Worlds in 2027 — the difference between guessing your matchups and preparing for them is data. Logging your sparring rounds by training partner, the techniques that worked against specific guard types, the submissions you hit by position — all of it compounds into a real game plan instead of a generic one.

Rollbook is built for the grappler who wants to track their game without the logging feeling like homework. Quick Log captures a session in five seconds; Technique Chains let you connect setups → entries → finishes the way you actually use them in a match; the Training Heatmap shows your consistency at a glance across the 12 weeks before competition. Try it before your next bracket releases.
