BRACKETS AND SCHEDULE:

Friday Afternoon before the tournament, May 12th, the event brackets and schedule will be released. You will be able to locate both on the event page brackets and schedule tab. At the tournament, there will be a flat screen TV where the event schedule is displayed. The referee at your mat will also make a courtesy call for you to come to the mat if you haven’t already presented yourself for the bracket. Please be at the mat on time for your matches. We ask that you make sure to be present in the venue at least 60 minutes prior to your division start time. Some matches end faster than others, so this may allow us to start some divisions sooner. You can also see when your matches are coming up by checking the tab on your mobile device during the competition. The schedule is tentative and may change based on the number of athletes registered.

COACH CHAIR and CROWD CONTROL: We will have 1 chair on each side of every score table, 1 for each coach of the competitor on the mat. The only other people allowed next to the score table during the tournament are the competitors on the mat having their match and the competitors on deck.

MEDIC ON HAND: There will be a professionally trained medic on site.

WEIGH-INS:

Weigh-ins begin at 8 AM the day of the tournament. Athletes may weigh in throughout the day but must weigh-in at least 60 minutes prior to the start of their division. Athletes may wear whatever appropriate attire they choose to weigh-in. You ARE NOT required to weigh in with your Gi. If an athlete cannot make weight, they will be moved up to the next available weight class, if there are no athletes in higher weight classes you will be disqualified. Athletes will be given a 3 lbs. weight allowance. We do this to ensure the integrity of the brackets. Registration may be edited by the athlete until May 9th, 11:59 PM.
