the ijra (international joint rollers association)
The IJRA is the governing body for Joint Wars. Yes, we made this shit up, but we had to, and it sounds super cool. We will create comprehensive rules and guidelines for each category. All of our judges, referees and competitors will understand, and work within these rules and guidelines in order to ensure a fair competition.
We provide the flower, the crutches, the papers and trays. You can bring anything from your kit that helps you roll a great joint. A poker, packer, snipper, wetter, etc. Anything but an automatic roller or a dollar bill!
Roll That Joint! - We toss a coin to see who names the their time first. Hopefully, you've practiced and you know how fast you can roll the perfect joint (see below for guidelines). If you say 2 minutes, your competitor counters. They might say "1 minute" and so on until the competitor feels like there's no way it can be done in that time. The athlete that named the lowest time has to now roll a "perfect joint" in that time. If they can, they win, if not, the other competitor must roll in the lowest time that they claimed and so on until we have a winner. The current record is 48 seconds
Quantity & Quality - You have 4 minutes to roll as many "Perfect Joints" as you can. Each joint submitted must be within the guidelines provided. If there is a tie, we have a roll off at 3 minutes. If there's another tie we roll off for 2 minutes until a winner is declared.
The Hat Trick - You have 4 minutes to roll "The Dog Walker" "The Perfect Joint" and "The Double Paper". See guidelines below. You can roll as many of them as you like in that time but you can only submit one joint for each size. All of them must be within the JW guidelines to be counted and judged. You can use any double paper trick you want. The L, the lengthwise, the pony, all of em. If both rollers complete the task, it's up to the judges to decide who rolled the best based on the firmness, seams, and if it comes down to it, and we hope it does...smokeability.
The MacGuyver - You have everything you need to roll the perfect joint except...rolling papers! You roll the dice to pick your rolling material. This could be anything from a paper towel to a magazine to a cheeseburger wrapper. You roll for crutch material too. This is currently our "exhibition" game. We have one episode dedicated to this game.
Blunt Wars? - We know, there's a thing between joint rollers and blunt rollers but we're all in this together. We are discussing a separate divsion now and would love your input. Please email us your suggestions.
The Most Creative Joint - We'll leave this to the artists and the user submitted competitions. Rollers are the athletes of weed and we're going to treat them that way. We want to help elevate profiles, elevate brand awareness for all of our strategic partners and elevate the game of joint rolling!
