Get ready for the biggest Jiu Jitsu tournament in Oregon!

Divisions include Gi and No-gi; Adult, Master 1 (30+), Master 2 (40+), and Youth (ages 5 up)… divided by belt/skill, weight, and age. The event has traditionally followed a single elimination format but with experience matches, in an effort to provide at least two matches for all competitors.

WHAT TO EXPECT THE DAY OF THE EVENT

TRACK YOUR BRACKET’S DYNAMIC START TIME

Please remember the schedule is LIVE the day of the event. It is not unusual for times to change rapidly throughout the day. It is the competitor’s responsibility to monitor any changes in the schedule to start times and mat changes for their bracket. Sub League is NOT responsible for any athlete who misses their weigh in or start time of their bracket. No refunds will be given to competitors who miss their weigh in or start time.

BE READY ON TIME

Competitors should be in the building and dressed to compete 1-hour before their BRACKET’s estimated start time (not their individual match time). The Brackets & Schedule will be available by Thursday before the event for Adults/Masters and by Friday before the event for Youth/Teens.

CHECK-IN

Every competitor will check-in at the front desk when they arrive. Competitors who registered by September 30 are eligible to receive a free T-shirt (available inside the venue at the merchandise booth). Competitors should stay up-to-date with the progress of their bracket start time and mat number on the screen provided in the bullpen or on their own phones.

Competitors wanting to check their weight before the official weigh-in should visit the bullpen to use the test scale. Warm up mats will be available.

WEIGH-INS

When your bracket is called (approximately 1-hour before your BRACKET’s start time) find your Bullpen Leader in the bullpen area to get officially weighed in. All competitors will weigh-in wearing their full competition attire. There is ZERO (0.00) weight allowance. Competitors weighing more than the maximum weight listed for their division will be disqualified and will not be allowed to compete. Athletes competing in both Gi and No-gi will weigh-in separately for both.

AWARDS

After your bracket is finished, please wait for the Awards Runner to take you from the mat to the awards booth to receive your medal. Adult/Masters receive medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Youth/Teens receive medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place plus participation medals for 4th place and above.

COMMON REASONS FOR DISQUALIFICATION
Note: No refunds or credits are issued for disqualification

#1 NOT MAKING WEIGHT
The weight division you register for has a maximum weight listed. You will step on the scale right before your bracket begins, fully dressed in your competition attire. If you weigh more than the maximum weight listed, you will be disqualified. If you weigh more than the maximum weight listed, you will not receive a refund or a credit. There is NO WEIGHT ALLOWANCE.

Our advice to all competitors: If in doubt, go with the higher weight division to avoid the stress of possible disqualification. It is okay to weigh less than the weight division range; you just cannot weigh more. All corrections to your registration must be made online by 11:59 pm on Monday before the event on Smoothcomp.

#2 NOT KNOWING THE RULES
Take the time to review the rules now, including the Allowed and Disallowed Holds and Takedowns for your age/skill level in the Competition Rules. Familiarize yourself with the scoring and unique bracketing.

#3 MISSING THE UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS
Only white, royal blue, black, and pink gis are allowed for all competitors. Pockets in your no-gi shorts? Sew them up now! Pockets, zippers, loops and other potential hangups are not allowed on your competition attire. Read more on uniform requirements in the Competition Attire and Hygiene section of the Competition Rules.

#4 NOT CHECKING THE SCHEDULE
The live event schedule will be available on Smoothcomp. It is a live schedule, meaning times can shift up and/or down throughout the event. Please refresh often and plan to be dressed and ready to weigh-in at least 1 hour before your BRACKET’S start time (not your personal match start time).
