## Overview

**Event Type:** Competition

**Description:** DHGS is a round robin style tournament, where everyone will be grouped with closest participants in skill, weight, (and age for kids). We will use this information to make full brackets of 5 competitors (or as close to as possible ensuring the matches are fair).

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU WILL MAKE THE WEIGHT (LBS NOT KG) YOU WROTE ON YOUR REGISTRATION FORM.

Should you have any requests for your bracket ie: fighting up in weight or belt, or your weight not reading correctly at registration, please feel free to leave a note about this on the registration, or we can do it as admin if you reach out to dhgrapplingseries@gmail.com.  This will help steer us in the right direction when finalizing brackets. Once the brackets get published, please check to make sure you have been placed in the correct bracket.
