BLACK BELTS: Black Belts don't pay to compete in any of our events. Use the code 'BLACKBELTCT' to register for free. Important: We check all registrations for the proper use of discount codes. Any attempt to use this code for non-Black Belts will result in an immediate ban from all of our events. We will reserve the right to make it public the name of the non-Black Belt trying to use this code to register as a way to keep our community free of scammers.

Be the first one to register in your division. More competitors will join you! Many times competitors wait for the last minute, not giving time for others to see the new bracket. Open your division, and others will follow you!

refund policy / switching divisions / registration check day guide

SWITCHING DIVISIONS: Competitors/Coaches/Parents have until 5 PM on the Registration Check Day to change divisions.

To do so, login to your account on Smoothcomp and locate your registration information. The change in division(s) must be made before the ‘Athlete Correction Deadline.’

No further changes are allowed past the ‘Athlete Correction Deadline.’ Competitors who are alone in their division can:

1) Use your Login Credentials and switch to another division. Your options are

- ADULTS GI: Move up on weight division or move down to a younger division (if you are in Masters 1 or 2). You must remain within your current belt level.

- ADULTS NOGI: All the above, plus you can move to a higher level division. I.e., Intermediate changing to Expert

- KIDS GI and NOGI: It is up to the coaches and parents' discretion to make changes regarding weight and level. We reserve our right not to approve a change to a heavier division. Kids must remain within their AGE divisions.

2) Cancel your registration for a full credit towards any future event.

Please check out these instructions to learn how to make any change or cancel your registration for this event: https://support.smoothcomp.com/article/89-how-to-change-weightclass-or-cancel

COMBINED DIVISIONS: If for some reason we make any changes to your registration combining your division with another, with the intent of offering you a chance of competing (two or more brackets with just one competitor), we will still issue a full credit so you can enter any future event at no extra cost.

REFUND POLICY: Gaman BJJ only issues FULL CREDIT COUPON for future events. Credit can be received by logging into your account and canceling your registration to the event before the ‘Athlete Correction Deadline.’

If you have just one match and your opponent does not show up or decide not to compete on the day of the event, we will make sure that you will still receive your medal, and we will issue a full credit for any future competition.

We do not offer full refunds. When you cancel your participation for whatever reason, Smoothcomp issues a specific full credit coupon code that is sent to you via email. Save the email, and apply the same coupon code to any future event.
