REGISTRATION INFO

Open to ages 4-15 of all levels and all affiliations. Registration will close the day before the competition [Friday, April 22 at 7 PM]. There will be no in-person registration the day of the event.

*This is our first time using SmoothComp, so we appreciate your patience with us while we navigate the new technology. Brackets will not be posted online prior to the tournament.

FORMAT

  • All brackets are double elimination/ round robin (depending on participant count) to give each competitor as many matches as possible. 
  • This is a sub-only format. Each match will be 3 minutes and the competitor that achieves a submission will be the winner. At the end of 3 minutes, if there is no submission, we will begin a 2-minute overtime where scoring will be recorded. If the time expires and there is STILL a tie, whoever scores the next point will be declared the winner and the match will be over (i.e. "sudden death overtime"). [Please note - this format has been slightly updated since we published this due to Smoothcomp requirements to declare a winner.]
  • During the 2-minute overtime, the IBJJF point system will be used, with the exception of advantage points.
  • Our space allows for two matches to be running at the same time.

DIVISIONS

Due to the small number of participants in this tournament, divisions will be determined after all registrations have been completed. Our goal is to create divisions that allow each child to have as many matches as possible in a safe and challenging bracket. Weight, experience and age (in that order) will be taken into account for each division so that competitors are matched with children of a similar size and experience level. Divisions will be co-ed. 

Divisions will be determined the day of the competition after weigh-ins.
