SUB-ONLY WORLDS QUALIFIER:If you win 1st place in your bracket, you qualify to compete free of charge at Sub-Only Worlds on December 12, 2026. The free entry is ONLY available to be used at SO Worlds and cannot be redeemed for any other Good Fight tournament.
COMPETITOR LIST:You can view the list of competitors by visiting the 'Athletes' tab above. Additionally, you MUST pre-register online, as The Good Fight does NOT offer on-site, or day-of registration.
CHANGES TO YOUR REGISTRATION:Competitors and their parents are responsible to make any necessary changes to their registration by the 'Last Chance to Edit' deadline, which is always 11:59 pm - the Thursday before the tournament. This ensures your registration details, including your weight-class and selected divisions, are listed correctly.
After the 'Last Chance to Edit' deadline ends, you will not be able to make any additional changes to your registration. However, The Good Fight bracketing staff may need to move you to another weight-class or division in order to make a bracket for you. If you are the only 1 showing up in your division, this change may be necessary.
UNCONTESTED DIVISIONS:All uncontested Divisions will follow these options starting with option 1 then moving down the list. All competitors have the ability, in Smoothcomp, to go in and update their own resignation to put themselves in a division of their choosing.

INJURY CREDIT GUARANTEE: If injured BEFORE the tournament, you have until 11:59 pm, the THURSDAY night before the tournament, to grab your "100% coupon refund". This is a credit that is issued through your Smoothcomp registration. It is up to YOU, to take care of this on Smoothcomp. If you fail to redeem your "100% coupon refund" by the deadline listed, you will have forfeited your credit.
Please note: Once you register and pay online, there are NO credit card refunds. If you need to cancel your registration for whatever reason, you will need to grab your "100% coupon refund", which is in the form of a tournament credit only.

2 MATCH PER DIVISION GUARANTEE:Terms: You must stay for the entirety of your bracket. If you do not get 2 matches in your bracket, you must notify the GF staff and ask for a 2nd match. If you fail to ask at the tournament, you forfeit your 2nd match guarantee. Please note: This guarantee does NOT apply to Sub-Only Worlds.
FREE RASHGUARD GUARANTEE:Terms: You must pre-register online to be guaranteed a free Good Fight rashguard.
TRANSGENDER POLICY:The Good Fight affirms that biologically gender separated competition division and bracketing creates a fair and level playing field for all athletes involved in our submission-only tournament. The Good Fight offers clear and separate divisions for biological males and biological females as observed and identified at birth. Transgender athletes (male or female) are disallowed from entering their chosen gender. Transgender athletes are welcome to sign up and participate in their biologically identified gender category. In the situation that a transgender athlete knowingly registers for the wrong division and is discovered, Good Fight reserves the right to ban that competitor from the present tournament and future tournament registration, as well as the deletion of the Good Fight results in the provided profile and fight record.
