Hello,
Hope all of you are doing well.
Wanted to let everyone know that we have extended the registration deadline for this years’ Las Vegas Event to this Friday, June 5th, 2026!
June 5th will be your final opportunity to sign up for the event. This day will also be your last chance to double check your registration information; such as Spelling of Name, Age, Rank, Weight, correct Competition Events, Event T-Shirt Orders, Raffle Tickets, Advanced Kids & Adult Testing Registration, and Guest “Dinner & A Fight Wristbands”.
It is very important to double-check your information and make sure it is updated by June 5th because it will lead to disqualification or a re-bracketing fee of $25 for each change. We are removing the couple pound weight buffer we had put in place for fighting and grappling like past events. Updated fee schedule for check-in/Weigh-in: If you weigh-in up to 3 pounds heavier than your stated weight, there will not be a fee to re-bracket. If you weigh-in 4-5 pounds heavier than your stated weight, there will be a $10 fee to re-bracket. If you weigh-in more than 6 pounds heavier than your stated weight, there will be a $25 fee to re-bracket.
Remember, there will be absolutely no changes or adjustments after June 5th to registrations. Please double check with competitor to make sure they have chosen the correct competition events; we have two types of forms competition and a total of six maximum competition events a competitor can sign up for.
Smooth comp doesn’t allow participants to make the following adjustments: If you would like to swap, delete, or add additional competition events to your registration, please email us and let us know what change you would like to make, and we will refund you or invoice you if need be and we will make the requested changes.
If you would like to add raffle tickets, t-shirts, Kids/Adult Testing, or Dinner & A Fight event wristbands, you are welcomed to login and you will be able to do that yourself on Smoothcomp. Also if you have not signed up for any competition events, you can also login and add on Smoothcomp yourself.
