SMOOTHCOMP REGISTRATIONS
All registrations to our events are done through Smoothcomp.com
If you're new to competing, you'll need to create a Smoothcomp profile first. Once your profile is set up, you can register for any of our upcoming events.
Registrations open as soon as we announce a tournament. We encourage all competitors to register early to secure their spot and take advantage of discounted fees.
Registration periods are as follows:
-
Early Bird Registration:
Available for approximately one month after the tournament is announced. Discounted entry fees apply during this period. -
Normal Registration:
Closes 8 days before the event (Friday of the week prior). Standard entry fees apply. -
Late Registration:
Opens Saturday before the event and closes at 11:59am on the Monday of event week.
A late fee applies to all entries during this period—no exceptions.
You can register without paying straight away, but please note:
Registrations are not considered complete until payment is made.
The payment deadlines are the same as the registration deadlines, so be sure to pay on time to avoid being removed from the event or charged a late fee.
AGE & RANK
Smoothcomp follows the standard IBJJF ranking and age bracket system.
Your competition age is based on the age you turn in the calendar year of the event — not your current age.
Be sure to update your rank on your Smoothcomp profile as soon as you are graded.
If you are 16 or turning 16 this year, you’ll be moved into the Juvenile 1 division. For more details, please refer to our Ranking System page.
WEIGHT DIVISIONS
When registering for a BJJ competition, you must select a weight division that reflects your actual body weight on the day of the event. (We can adjust your registered weight division anytime before registrations close). If you miss weight on the day, you will be disqualified and not allowed to compete — no exceptions.
All weigh-ins at our events are done in No-Gi attire, even if you are only competing in the Gi division.
We do not condone weight cutting in any situation. Instead, choose a division where you feel strong, healthy, and comfortable.
Please note: You may only weigh in if your match is among the next 10 on the schedule (approximately within the next hour).
Please refer to our Weight Divisions page for a detailed breakdown of our weight divisions.
Brackets and the event schedule will be published a few days before the tournament. Please note: The event schedule is subject to change. Please refresh Smoothcomp frequently for live updates.
If any changes to your registration are required—such as merging divisions due to low or unmatched entries—you will be contacted directly. We always do our best to place you in the most suitable division, prioritising similar weight, age, and rank to ensure fair and competitive matches.
If you would like to request any changes to your own registration, please contact us before registrations close. After the deadline, adjustments may not be possible.
