• Weight is checked when your bracket is called. We suggest you arrive at least 90 minutes before your division is scheduled to start. Reminding that division times change throughout the event. Check smoothcomp for live updates

• If you are not in the concentration area at the time you are called, you will be disqualified. After a No Show is called the athlete will be disqualified. No exceptions

• No allowance is given. You must make weight. Athletes that don’t make weight will be disqualified. No exceptions

• All Gi divisions weigh in wearing the Gi.

• Adults are not allowed to compete in Summer Gi uniforms

• Athletes competing in Gi and NoGi. Your weight is checked for both Gi and NoGi, in your respective uniforms

• If you are competing only in NoGi, you will have to check your weigh before your bracket is called and you must use our NoGi weight chart

Athletes’ instructions (competition day):

• Adults bring a photo ID for the weigh in, kids can bring any ID (we accept valid IBJJF cards). Ages of your smoothcomp information must match with your ID. Any discrepancy results in disqualification
