Description

The All Stars 2027 Tournament will be held on Saturday, May 15th at Kaiser Permanente Arena, 140 Front St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, United States.

All Age Divisions from Kids, Juveniles, Adults, and Masters, - all belt ranks are welcome to compete.

Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each division. Every registered competitor will receive a complimentary tournament t-shirt. 

Bracket System

Our brackets are designed to provide 2 or more matches for willing participants in their divisions if possible. When brackets have 2 competitors, they will compete in a best 2 out of 3 to determine the champion. For brackets of 3 competitors, they will compete in a true round-robin and the champion will be determined by the number and types of wins. For brackets of 4 or more competitors, there may be 2 or more matches for each competitor. All competitors who do not have anyone registered in their division will automatically be awarded a gold medal.  For Kids, we will make every effort to arrange a one-match consolation match so you still have the opportunity to compete.

Juvenile athletes will compete in their own division, but they’ll have the option to compete in the Adult division — as long as they meet belt and weight requirements and provide a signed waiver with parental authorization.
