The North American Grappling Association (NAGA) presents the Cincinnati Grappling Championship on January 11, 2025, at the Elite Athletics Sports Complex in Batavia, OH. NAGA tournaments have no-gi and gi (BJJ) divisions for all skill levels and all ages. Our tournaments are on time, fair, and safe. NAGA uses Smoothcomp so you can track what time, and on which mat you are going to compete. More information about NAGA and our tournaments can be found on our website nagafighter.com.NEW FOR 2025
2 MATCHES TO ALL COMPETITORS
2-Person Divisions: Best 2-out-of-3
3-Person Divisions: Round Robin
4-Person + Divisions: 4 or more competitors will now have a 3rd place bracket for those who lose a match enabling them to compete again at no extra cost.
These new bracket types will make sure each competitor has a chance at two matches per division (barring injury, opponent withdrawal, etc.) so they can gain that valuable experience on the mats.

REGISTRATION/BRACKETING USING SMOOTHCOMP
NAGA uses the Smoothcomp tournament management system for registration and bracketing. Smoothcomp is a tournament management system that allows you to register and pay for a tournament online. The system generates brackets that competitors can view and track their estimated division start time and their mat assignments. After the tournament, individual and team results are posted on Smoothcomp.
If this is the first time you are using Smoothcomp, you will need to create an account with them before you can register for a NAGA tournament.
Cash or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) are the only accepted forms of payment in person (spectators and merchandise).
For more information on pricing, directions, divisions, rules, and more visit the NAGA website, nagafighter.com.
There is a scam where the scammer will post on an event page saying they need to sell their tickets due to (insert tragedy here) or are streaming the event, or now they are even trying to sell merchandise. We work to delete these as they appear and contact Facebook support, but please be aware and do not click the links they provide.
See you on the mats in 2025!
