Description
NAGA is very excited to be back in Maryland. On December 14, 2019, the NAGA Maryland Grappling Championship will take place at the Frederick Indoor Sports Center in Frederick, MD. This is a No-Gi and Gi grappling tournament.
Event Details
The tournament will have over 300 No-Gi and Gi grappling divisions. All Expert division winners take home championship belts. Non-expert Children and Teen division winners and Adult non-expert winners are awarded medals.
In 2019, NAGA has made significant changes to improve our customer's overall experience at NAGA events. These improvements include:
- Added Absolute Male & Female No-Gi Divisions for Novice/Beginner, Intermediate & Expert competitors
- Added Absolute Male & Female Gi Divisions for White Belt, Blue Belt & Purple Belt competitors
- More Women weight classes; weights are now separated by 10 lb. increments
- Added Ultra Heavy Weight (250 lbs. & above) to separate men 225 lbs. to 249.9 lbs. (Super Heavy Weight) from those 250 lbs. and over
- NAGA will be using the Smoothcomp tournament management system.
SMOOTHCOMP
NAGA has replaced the TourneyGuru bracketing system with the new and improved Smoothcomp system. All competitors will need to register through the Smoothcomp website. If you do not already have a Smoothcomp account, you will be prompted to create one. Parents can create one account and host your children under that account (the same goes for coaches and their students if you choose to do so). Once you are registered, you will be able to view who is enrolled in their group. If there is no one in your group, don’t worry, NAGA will work to find you matches.
On tournament day you will be able to monitor the schedule and what your division's estimated start times will be. Coaches, family, and friends will be able to follow your bracket, all of this in real-time. Please visit the event page at nagafighter.com for more information about NAGA and Smoothcomp.
Important improvements for 2019:
- To pre-bracket all competitors the number one and most significant change is that NAGA will no longer accept registrations or payments on the day of the event (Saturday and or Sunday). This change will enable us to get the bulk of bracketing done on Friday night. Competitors can register until the end of the weigh-in session the night before the event. Please note though, you must already have a Smoothcomp account and have had registered for the event choosing the ‘Complete Registration
