Divisions

A division must have at least two competitors in it to be valid.

If we are not able to match you in your division we may move you either down one age division OR up one weight division. You can object to our decision up to 24 hours from when the brackets are published and you will receive a voucher for the full amount you can use in one of our next events.

If we are not able to match you with any competitor, you will receive a voucher for the full amount you can use in one of our next events.

Competitors do not have to wear a GI for the weigh-in even if they compete in the GI

Weight-in will happen on competition day. Each athlete must report to the weight-in desk at least 45 minutes prior to their first match scheduled time (check dynamic times on the Smoothcomp app).

It is the competitor's responsibility to make sure they weight-in on time for their match.

If we cannot match you with your weight group, we will only try to move you down up one weight division. If that is not possible, you will receive a credit to use for a future event.

Weight division cannot be amended on competition day. If you don't make weight you automatically DQ and we cannot issue any refund or credit.
