Competitor list

Competitor Lists will be LIVE throughout the registration process and can be viewed by checking out the registrations tab on the event page. We encourage everyone to log in by the last day of registration and check their details along with the competitor lists, and not wait until the brackets are published and locked in to confirm such details. 

Changing Divisions

All competitors (or coaches, and parents) have until 11:59PM on Tuesday 29th August to make any changes to their registrations. You can make these changes by logging into your account and modifying your registration details. After this deadline, the registration will become locked in, and there will be no further changes allowed. Competitors who are alone in their division should choose to either self-move themselves up a division. If you have trouble changing your division, please check out: https://support.smoothcomp.com/article/89-how-to-change-weightclass-or-cancel

Division Mergers

After the registration deadline, competitors who do not have anyone in their division group may be merged with another division. All athletes who remain solo in their divisions once brackets are released means they had no default merges available to them, and therefore there are no matches available for that competitor. They will receive a refund from Smoothcomp before the competition date.

Refund Policy

We issue refunds for Competitors who do not have a bracket after the last day for registrations. No cancellations. Once you register for the event, you cannot cancel.

Brackets & Schedule

48 hours prior to the tournament, the event brackets and schedule will be released. You will be able to locate both on the event page brackets and schedule tab. We will make a courtesy call for you on the microphone to come to the mat if you haven’t already presented yourself for the bracket. Please be at the mat on time for your matches. We ask that you make sure to be present in the venue at least 60 minutes prior to your division start time as well in case we are able to get a head start on certain divisions. You can also tell when your matches are coming up by checking the tab on your mobile device during the competition: https://support.smoothcomp.com/article/90-find-out-your-dynamic-starting-time
