The IJRA is broken up into three divisions based on the contestants' grade in school. The three divisions are K-1-2, 3-4-5 and 6-7-8. Different events are available in each division. The events in the division may be boy/girl (boys and girls do not compete against each other; points and placings are kept separate), unisex (boys and girls complete against each other for points and placings), girls only or boys only. Events may also be jackpot events only. In these events, the contestants earn money, not points.
