Spectators 

It is free entry to all spectators. All we ask is that all competitors check in when they arrive. 

CHANGES TO ENTRY

You must make any necessary changes yourself by logging into your smoothcomp account. You have access to change your entry up until midnight on 31/05/2023

CHECK DAY 

Please check your entry before registration closes to make sure all the following are correct:

Academy Name - cannot be changed on the day Weight category - you must make weight on the day, or you cannot fight (no tolerance) Age category - check you are in the correct place - been promoted? please update your entry

Any changes must be made by yourself by logging into your Smoothcomp account before midnight on 31/05/2023

WEIGH INS - We will be using clever scales linked to the smoothcomp app.  Please check your weight before registration closes and make sure you are in the right category; it is your responsibility to make weight and you will be automatically DQ by the system if you do not make the weight. There is nothing we can do to overwrite the system.  Please respect the rules!  

We will send everyone a reminder on the last day to make changes. After this day registration will be closed and no requests to add competitors will be accepted and emails will be ignored. 

Weigh in will be with your GI, if you have signed up to Gi and no Gi you only have to weigh in once.

ARRIVAL TIME

You only have to be at the event 1 hour before your fight to sign in, warm up and be ready to be weighed in.  You don't have to be there all day; however you are welcome to arrive early and stay as long as you would like. There will be between 6 and 8 scales working so no queues. 

FIGHT TIMES

We will only know fight times once registration has closed and brackets have been created. We estimate to have this information around 48 hours the competition. When registration closes, we will not be able to add any competitors. Please do not insist. 

MERGES

We will be looking at the competitor list on 01/06/2023 and will start to make any necessary merges.  Ideally there should be at least 4 in a category in case someone does not show up, so fights can still go ahead. 

For kids only, if you sign up for Gi and NoGi and you want to fight in extra brackets then you can email us with your request and you will need to go up on age weight and skill level to qualify. Ex:  if signed up to Boys - White belt - 10yrs - 42Kgs and you would like to fight an extra bracket you will need to go up on all the above: Boy - Grey belt - 12yrs - 44Kgs, you can do that but email us to confirm. 

Refunds

If you can’t make the event and let us know by 08/05/2023 we shall issue you a full refund. 

After this date a refund will be refused however, we will issue a voucher for the next event in September.
