TOURNAMENT INSTRUCTIONS

• Arrive at the venue approximately 1.5 - 2 hours before your scheduled STAGING group time.  The event schedule fluctuates based upon the speed of matches prior to your divisions.  If you are not ready to compete when it is your scheduled time, you risk disqualification.  
• Please make sure you are compliant with the Hygiene and Uniform Guidelines (Page 18/19). You will have to pass by the uniform checker prior to being granted entry into the PIT.
• Weigh in prior to reporting to STAGING for your uniform check. We typically will call your division 15-30 minutes prior to the posted STAGING group time.
• Kids can weigh in as soon as the doors open. Adults may weigh in as early as they like as long as there are no kids currently in line. For 2 day tournaments, adults must weigh in on their competition date.
• Once you’ve cleared the uniform check, stand in the PIT line according to your mat number. You will wait here until a ring coordinator calls you.
• Once you enter the PIT, you cannot leave unless given permission by the PIT Manager.
• The STAGING group time is not your competition time. This is the time you are expected to be ready to go through your uniform check.  You can look at the schedule to see a close approximate of what time you will be competing.
