NEW - FIGHTERS AND CROWD RULES

Following the recent events of the increase of Omicron positive cases, and for the safety of everyone,  we decided to apply certain rules to control the crowd.

1- Spectators, fighters, cornermen and chaperones, all shall have a tag on their wrists with different colors to differentiate between different categories where our security guard will keep checking.

2- Spectators crowd will be limited.

3- We advise everyone to leave as soon as their business is done, so if you are a spectator and you came to support your friend, kindly leave as soon his your friend fight is over.

Cornerman

Each martial art school is allowed to bring one single corner man for each 10 fighter for free, we will be contacting each martial art school who have student that is participating in our competition to get his/her name in advance; once the cornerman students fights are over, we appreciate if they leave ASAP.

P.S: Free entry for cornerman doesn't mean that each fighter is allowed to bring an additional person to enter for free, it's a very specific spot for a specific person and mission. We are expecting that cornerman will be shared across all fighters from the same school.

Adults Fighters

1- Adults fighters will be allowed to come for weight in starting from 8:00 am Saturday 11 Jun.

2- Adults fighters won't be allowed to enter the competition hall any earlier than their competition fight time by 30 minutes.

Adults fighters need to leave the competition hall once their fights are over and awarded their medals, if they wish to enter again they need to check the availability of the spectator tickets and purchase one.

Example: Jack is an adults that have a fight scheduled at 1:45 pm, he is allowed to do his weight in check at 8:00 am, but he will only be allowed to enter the competition hall at 1:15 pm. Our security guard will be monitoring the fight schedule and list to control this entry.
