Competitor Lists will be 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. 

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

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.

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.

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:
