BRACKETS AND SCHEDULE:
Registration and Bracketing will be done using SmoothComp this year. Friday Afternoon before the tournament, event brackets and a schedule will be released on that platform. You will be able to locate both on the event page brackets and schedule tab. The referee at your mat will also make a courtesy call for you 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 your division start time as well, fast matches or short forms sometimes allow us 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.
