Format:

Sub Spectrum utilizes a Round Robin format for all youth divisions capped at 10 competitors!

Divisions with 2 competitors will operate under a best-of-three format.

Divisions with 3-5 competitors will operate under a normal round robin format.

Divisions with 6-10 competitors will operate under a group stage round robin where competitors will be split in 2 round robin groups with the winners of each group facing off for 1st and 2nd and the second places from each group facing off for bronze following the group stage.

This means that you will be able to compete in multiple matches regardless of outcome! We believe in giving you what you paid for, competitive submission grappling experience!

Weigh-Ins:

Weigh-ins will be available on Saturday starting at 8:00 AM. We ask that competitors are weighed-in 60 minutes prior to the scheduled start time for your first division, especially those competing later in the day as we often run ahead of schedule.

Competitors will only need to weigh in once if you are competing in multiple divisions and you WILL NOT be required to weigh in wearing your gi.

Competitors will be required to wear clothing (t-shirt and shorts) while weighing in. You WILL NOT be allowed to disrobe or "strip" to your underwear, so please plan accordingly.

Because competitors are required to weigh in clothed, there will be a 3 LBS ALLOWANCE  to account for the weight of your clothing.

Competitors will not be allowed to switch divisions the day of the event. All changes and edits to your registration must be made by the edit/change deadline on Thursday August 31st at 11:59 PM.

Competitor LISTS:

Competitors lists will be available to view throughout the registration period on the "Registrations" tab of the event page.

If you do not see anybody registered for your division - register anyways! In the event that we are not able to place you in a fair division, you will receive a full refund or the option to transfer your registration credit to a future event.

Brackets & Schedule:

Event brackets and schedule will be available to view on the event page (Brackets and Schedule tab) no later than 12:00 PM Central on August 31st.

Brackets and Schedule will be available to view on television screens set up at the event, as well as on your mobile device!

Registration Edits:

You will have until 11:59 PM on Thursday August 31st to make any necessary changes to your registration. Changes to your registration can be made by logging into your account and editing your registration details. 

After this time, you will not be able to make any changes or edits to your registration.
