COMPETITION OVERVIEW

Competition Notes - FAQ:

• There is no absolute/open division for White Belts
• Smoothcomp will automatically assign people to the closest suitable division if they are the only competitor in their ‘actual’ division. IE: if they are an ‘orphan’ competitor
• Don’t be too quick to judge how many people are in your division; many people wait until the last day, even the last few hours, before they register.
• Kids Divisions start at 9am.
• Adults divisions start at 11am
• We are usually done by 5pm
• You must make weight, whilst wearing your Gi, (be at or below the nominated weight) upon weigh-in as you step onto the mat for your first match
• If you fail to make weight at that time, you will forfeit your match
• Note: Many competitors will be BELOW the maximum nominated weight - IE: if a weight category is say, 65kg’s, many competitors will weigh in at less than that weight.
• Registrations close at midnight on Wednesday
• Please refresh and check your Smoothcomp account for ‘real time’ updates with regard to the start-time for your match. And be at your nominated mat, 15 minutes before your nominated start time.
