INDIVIDUAL OPEN BRACKET FORMAT(S):
Brackets with 5 or less competitors will compete in a Round-Robin format to ensure maximum number of matches.
Brackets with 6 or more competitors will compete in a Double-Elimination bracket.
3 VS 3 TEAM TOURNAMENT
Expert Team Division Champs win $1,000!
Each member of the 3-person team must register and select the same team name to be grouped together.
3 v 3 Team Quintet-style Tournament is submission only.

There are beginner, intermediate and expert divisions broken into male and female divisions.
Max weight for a team’s 3 competitors:

Adult Female: 500 lbs
All matches are 6 minutes in length unless there is a 25+ lb weight difference between competitors, in which case the match will be 4 minutes in length.

BRACKET RELEASE:

Brackets will be posted on Smoothcomp, NOT this event registration page. We will provide the direct link to the bracketing on Smoothcomp once they are published.
If there is no one in your bracket, our Director will focus on merging brackets with the closest weight class or experience level to ensure you get a match. Our goal is to provide everyone with a safe, fun and competitive experience, and we will not place anyone in brackets that we don’t believe will provide that.
