For parents and coaches
Will my kid have a match?
Sometimes a division does not get enough entries to run on its own. When that happens we merge it with an adjacent one, in this order:
- 1Merge up by weight class.
- 2If nothing there, move up one age group.
- 3If nothing there either, move up one skill level.
- We never merge up two classes. Only one, and only upward.
- We only merge when we have to. Separate divisions are always the preference.
- Merges are published before the event. No surprises on the day.
If a competitor is still alone after brackets are posted, they have no matches and receive a full refund.
Not comfortable with a merge? Withdraw for a full refund. No matches means a full refund, always.
