Description

Registrations

  • ** DO NOT CUT WEIGHT! ** We will take whatever weight you are on Tournament Day at weigh-ins and use that number to put you in a division with similarly weighted & skilled competitors - some may be heavier, some may be lighter. We do not use specific weight ranges to determine divisions. (This is called MADISON BRACKETING: Competitors are grouped based on their weight after weigh-ins, rather than using pre-set weight classes.)
  • YOUTH (ages 5-15) - $40 single entry or $60 double entry until Jan 30 at 12pm noon, add $20 to any late entries
  • ADULTS (ages 16+) - $50 single entry or $70 double entry until Jan 30 at 12pm noon, add $20 to any late entries
  • Maximum 6 competitors closest in Weight and Experience* make up a division   (*since Belt Color may not be best indicator of Skill Level for some competitors)
  • "Day-Of" Registrations will be accepted through SmoothComp on Tournament Day. Registration cut-off is 10:45am for Youth and 11:45pm for Adults
  • No Refunds will be issued. If you are not weighed in by the deadline (10:45am for Youth, 11:45pm for Adults), we'll assume you are not competing.
