Please competitors, try to be around your assigned mat at least 30 minutes before their scheduled start time. Match times are in real time and should be checked frequently on the day of the event for any updates. If a competitor does not arrive to the mat within 10 minutes of the first time they are called, they will be marked as a loss and the bracket will advance. This applies for all competitors, but please especially keep this in mind when registering for more than one division. **Weigh-ins:**We suggest that competitors be weighed-in 60 minutes prior to the scheduled start time for your first division, especially those competing later in the day in case that we run ahead of schedule. Because you are required to weigh in clothed, there will be a**2 LBS ALLOWANCE**for all competitors. You will not be allowed to switch divisions the day of the event. All changes and edits to your registration must be made by the edit/change deadline. If you are unable to make the registered weight before the start of your first match - you will be**DISQUALIFIED**. Suggested: Skill levels are primarily by BELT. If you do not have a jiujitsu belt, then you will register based on your years training. You are always allowed to challenge yourself by going up in skill level, but you may not go down in skill level. Beginner: White belts (or 0-2 years training). Intermediate: White and Blue Belts (or 2-4 years training). Advanced: From White to Black (or 4+ years training). Adults: 6 minutes - 1 OT Masters: 5 minutes -1 OT Division where money is involved**:** As many OT as needed till someone wins the match by points or by submission. Scoring criteria is the same (the positive and negative points start during the fisrt half and all of overtime). *Over Time are half of the total match length Competitors lists will be available to view throughout the registration period under the "Participants" tab on the Smoothcomp event page. Event brackets and schedule will be available to view on the event page (Brackets and Schedule tab) no later than**12:00 PM Central on Thursday January 17th.** Brackets and Schedule will be available to view on your mobile device! 1st (Gold), 2nd (Silver), and 3rd (Bronze) Place medals will be awarded for each division. The qualification process works as follows: ● The 1st place team from the July event (Youth Team β€” and the Adult & Masters Team) secures their spot in The Conquest. ● The 1st place team from the October event (the Youth Team β€” and the Adult & Masters Team) secures the remaining spot for The Conquest Team vs Team. If the same team wins both events, the team with the highest overall points will be the one to compete in The Conquest. **The Absolute Champions from First Strike ( beginner, intermediate & advanced)and Final Shot will face off in special superfights. Important: The rankings are based on individual academies β€” not affiliations β€” meaning only points earned by individual academies are counted, not by any group affiliations. There will be a professionally trained and certified medic on sight for the event. The Medic will be available for competitors to receive ice, evaluation, and advice in the event of an injury. **IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF OUR TEAM IN THE DAY BEFORE SET-UP**, you can send us a e-mail or a DM on instagram.
