RULES AND POLICIES: https://www.grapplingindustries.com/rules

DIVISIONS: https://www.grapplingindustries.com/divisions

FORMAT: The Grappling Industries Round Robin format offers every competitor multiple matches per division regardless of wins and losses. Competitors can get as many as 4 to 6 matches per division! For full information about our world-renowned Round Robin format please visit the following link: https://www.grapplingindustries.com/rules

COMPETITOR LIST: The competitor list will be live updated and viewable in the 'Athletes' tab of the event page.

WEIGH-INS & CHECK-IN: Competitors can weigh-in and check-in as soon as the event doors open on the day they are competing up until 60 minutes prior to their division start time. Competitors are NOT required to weigh in wearing uniform. Competitors competing in multiple divisions only need to weigh in once for all of their divisions. Absolute division competitors must still check in at the weigh-in table. There is no weight allowance. Competitors who fail to weigh-in and check-in prior to the 60 minute cutoff or fail to make weight for their division will be disqualified. 

BRACKETS AND SCHEDULE: The event’s brackets and schedule will be posted 48 hours prior to the event. They can be found on the event page ‘Schedule’ tab. Event schedules are dynamic and division start times may fluctuate. It is important to monitor the schedule and brackets leading up to and on event day. Brackets may run ahead of schedule due to unforeseeable circumstances. To find your up-to-date match times, please see the following link: https://support.smoothcomp.com/article/90-find-out-your-dynamic-starting-time

MERGERS: Once the registration and change deadline have passed, competitors that are alone in their division will be merged by default as per our merger guidelines. Competitors with no available merges as indicated by an ‘x’ next to their division name, must contact us at grapplingindustries@gmail.com to be issued a credit to a future event if without a match in all of their divisions. Please note that Grappling Industries does not contact competitors directly regarding mergers; it is each competitor’s responsibility to check their brackets and reach out if there are any issues or concerns. By registering for a Grappling Industries event, you acknowledge that mergers may not always be possible and that a credit will be issued in such cases.

CHANGING DIVISIONS AND CANCELLING REGISTRATION: Competitors can edit or cancel their registration up until the event’s change deadline. For more information on how to do this, see the following link: https://support.smoothcomp.com/article/89-how-to-change-weightclass-or-cancel. Withdrawing from division(s) after the registration deadline of an event is final. Withdrawing from a division due to injury or illness on event day will result in being removed from all of your remaining divisions for the day. 

CAPACITY: Each event has a set capacity limit and registration will close early if capacity is reached. We highly recommend that competitors register as early as possible and do not make any travel arrangements until their registration is finalized.  

BEST OVERALL TEAMS and AWARDS: Team standings, points, and medal counts are updated live and are available on the 'Results' tab of the event page. Top teams will receive the largest medal and ribbon in the sport:  The Best Overall Academy for Adults and the Best Overall Academy for Kids. 

RANKINGS: We track rankings for both competitors and teams. Competitor rankings are categorized by gender, age, weight, and skill level. Team rankings are categorized by team points and medal count. Our rankings can be filtered at Global, Continental, and National level. You can find the rankings on our website at http://grapplingindustries.com/rankings/

EVENT COMMUNICATIONS: Any important event update or inquiry regarding your registration will be sent to the email address associated with your Smoothcomp account. 

REFUND POLICY: A full refund to your original payment method is available until the Normal Registration deadline. After this date, only a full coupon credit is offered up until the change deadline, regardless of circumstance. After the change deadline, credits are issued only if a competitor has no scheduled matches and competitors must email Grappling Industries in order to be issued their credit. Travel to the event is at your own discretion, and the organizer is not responsible for any related expenses. There are no exceptions to this policy.
