All competitors in addition to the registration fee are required to sell a minimum of 3 spectator tickets logged to their name on Eventbrite which cover 50% of the cost of your participation on this high production level show. PSG will cover the remaining 50% of your entry costs if needed. Alternatively you can pay your part of your entry cost directly at £100. Competitors will not be confirmed and added to the card until this requirement has been met. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER IF YOU CAN NOT MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS.
Competitors who have not met their ticket requirement or paid for their entry directly 2 weeks before the event date will be removed from the show. Commission will be paid for any additional sales above your 3 ticket minimum and limited VIP tables for 10 people are available and also count towards your entry requirements.
Once matched we will email you an event information pack explaining in more detail how the event will run and what you need to do next. Please ensure your Smoothcomp account email address and contact phone number is correct.
Matching for the prelims will be as per our normal Pro Sport Grappling events and if there is someone in your division you could be matched and put forward to the next stage providing we are not already at capacity.
THE 3 STAGE APPLICATION PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS
1. Registered - Register on Smoothcomp, check out and pay the admin fee. (refundable as per our terms) Please note that incomplete registrations or competitors not fully checked out will be deleted.
2. Matched - You have an opponent in your division and you will be emailed an information pack and invited to start selling your spectator tickets on Eventbrite under your name.
3. Confirmed - Once both fighters have the minimum amount of tickets purchased in their name the match is confirmed and added to the Prelim Card.
Please note that there are limited Prelim slots available and once capacity is reached all current and future applications will immediately stop and our refund policy will apply. At this point only confirmed fighters will be able to take part in this Tanto event.
