WEIGH-INS: Competitors can weigh 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. Competitors who fail to weigh-in prior to the 60 minute cutoff or fail to make weight for their division will be disqualified.

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.

MERGERS: Once the registration and change deadline have passed, competitors that are alone in their division will be merged 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 explore available options or 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
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.

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. Unforeseen circumstances such as withdrawals, no-shows, empty divisions, or schedule changes may occur and do not warrant exceptions to this policy. Travel to the event is at your own discretion, and the organizer is not responsible for any related expenses. By registering, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accept this policy.
