"The biggest lesson I learnt from Jiu Jitsu was how to truly know myself" - Carlos Gracie Sr.

Competition is an exciting part of your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey, providing new challenges and opportunities to learn.

The CompNet is a friendly and supportive environment for competing. It’s a great way to push yourself while also supporting your team mates and meeting new people from other Gracie Barra academies.

Please read the basic information below as it will help you prepare and enjoy the day of the tournament.

Your registration

1. The registration includes the tournament fee and a tournament t-shirt.
2. Spectator tickets can be purchased at the door for $10 per person (cash only) on day of the event.
3. Registration is non-refundable, but can be preserved for future events if it's a medical condition. Please see the Dates & Prices page for more information.

How to register

1. When registering for the tournament, it is recommended to have a conversation with your coach or professor. Ask them about how you can prepare for the tournament and they can also give you guidance on which division you should register for.
2. A CompNet division is built by three elements: Age, Rank, and Weight.
3. Age: The age groups for CompNet Tournaments are as follows: Adult (18+), Masters 1 (30-35), Masters 2 (36-40), Masters 3 (41-45), Masters 4 (46-50), Masters 5 (51-55), Masters 6 (56-60) and Masters 7 (61+).
4. Rank: Please select your current belt group: White, Blue, Purple, Brown and Black. Pro MMA fighters, competitive wrestlers and Judo Black belts must fight in a blue or above category.
5. Weight: Weigh in wearing the full Gracie Barra Uniform (kimono/gi, rashguard, and belt). The official weigh-in will take place on the day before the athlete's first match. Monitor your weight during the weeks leading into competition. Any changes in division must be made through Smoothcomp by the Athlete Correction Date.

7. Athletes who do not meet the weight requirement for the division on the morning of the competition are subjected to disqualification. Please contact event coordinators prior to the Athlete Correction Date at [email protected] if you have concerns or questions.
8. Most weight categories are up to categories (i.e. up to 105 lbs) which you must weigh under on the day. Please check the details of the weight category carefully.
9. Changes to registration by athletes: The deadline to make any changes to your division is seven days before the event.
10. Changes to registration by organizers: The tournament organizers will use their best judgment to create competitive matches for every athlete. When registering, you will be asked if you agree to move up in weight or down in age (for masters divisions) if you are the only competitor in the division.
11. If you are alone in the bracket and do not wish to move up in weight or down in age (for masters divisions), you will be given the option to either be declared the winner of the division and receive the medal at the podium or be offered a credit for future events by the organizers.
