MERGERS: Once the registration and change deadline have passed, our bracketing team will look to create the event brackets. Competitors that remain alone in a division after mergers are completed as indicated by an ‘x’ next to the division name can contact us at grapplingindustries@gmail.com to be issued a credit to a future event.
