You can receive a credit for any upcoming Freestyle Grapplerz event this calendar year.  Just log into your account and cancel your registration and please email us to let us know at Freestylegrapplerz@Gmail.com.  Please contact us to receive or use your credit and be able to provide proof of a cancelled, paid prior registration for a FREESTYLE GRAPPLERZ event.

***A Credit will be provided to cover your spot despite when you originally signed up. I.E If you originally signed up during late registration ($100), and are now contacting us to use the credit during early registration for another event ($65), you will NOT receive a refund or additional discount to make up the difference.
