No-gi divisions follow NAGA’s unique rules and point system. Gi divisions follow traditional BJJ rules and scoring (with some minor differences). The rules for NAGA no-gi and gi (BJJ) divisions can be found here. \nMULTIPLE DIVISIONS FOR YOUTHS & TEENS\nYouth and teen competitors who want to compete in an additional higher weight class or older age group division can do so for $20 per division. You can add one additional weight class or age group per division type (no-gi or gi) for a total of 4 divisions. Competitors cannot do multiple skill levels. As an example: a beginner 11 year old 85 pound competitor could add the 90-99.9 weight class OR the 12-13 year old category (not both). They cannot add the intermediate skill level. They can do this for no-gi\, gi\, or both. It is $20 for each division added. If they wanted to go up in weight for no-gi and up in age for gi (or vice-versa) we can accommodate that request. If you would like to add an additional division (or two)\, call the office at 860.537.3686 or email info@nagafighter.com.

As an example: a beginner 11 year old 85 pound competitor could add the 90-99.9 weight class OR the 12-13 year old category (not both). They cannot add the intermediate skill level. They can do this for no-gi\, gi\, or both. It is $20 for each division added. If they wanted to go up in weight for no-gi and up in age for gi (or vice-versa) we can accommodate that request.

Smoothcomp is a tournament management system that allows you to register and pay for a tournament online. The system will generate brackets and at the tournament keep you updated on what time and which mat you will be competing\, all in real time. \nIf you have competed in a Smoothcomp tournament in the past you can login to Smoothcomp with those login credentials and register for a tournament. 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. Brackets are posted on Friday night. It is possible that some competitors are not placed into a bracket. The reason for this is that we need to speak with you to before placing you into a division. \nChanging Weight Division Or Skill Level After RegisteringDue to changes in your weight or just a simple mistake of entering the incorrect weight or skill level when registering\, you may need to change them. You can do so from your Smoothcomp account.

No-gi divisions follow NAGA’s unique rules and point system. Gi divisions follow traditional BJJ rules and scoring (with some minor differences). The rules for NAGA no-gi and gi (BJJ) divisions can be found here. \nMULTIPLE DIVISIONS FOR YOUTHS & TEENS\nYouth and teen competitors who want to compete in an additional higher weight class or older age group division can do so for $20 per division. You can add one additional weight class or age group per division type (no-gi or gi) for a total of 4 divisions. Competitors cannot do multiple skill levels. As an example: a beginner 11 year old 85 pound competitor could add the 90-99.9 weight class OR the 12-13 year old category (not both). They cannot add the intermediate skill level. They can do this for no-gi\, gi\, or both. It is $20 for each division added. If they wanted to go up in weight for no-gi and up in age for gi (or vice-versa) we can accommodate that request. If you would like to add an additional division (or two)\, call the office at 860.537.3686 or email info@nagafighter.com. The following information is required in order to add the extra division(s): which tournament\, the competitor’s name\, up age or up weight\, no-gi/gi/both\, payment method (credit card\, PayPal\, Stripe)\, and the email address (only needed if you are calling in).
