Family Discount
We understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer relief to families who have multiple family members competing in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors, not spectators. When registering a family, you register each competitor individually. For 2 family members the discount is $25, 3 members is $50, 4 members $75, and so on.
To obtain a family discount, register all the family members who are competing, then call our office at 860.537.3686 or email us at [email protected]. We will need the names of the competitors, and which tournament they are registered. We will then refund your form of payment the appropriate family discount amount.
In Smoothcomp, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually.
Tournament InformationRegistration
NAGA Early Registration $10 Coupon
We are offering a $10 coupon to those who register by one month before the tournament date. Competitors who register by midnight on October 9, 2024, enter 2024DETROIT when you checkout at Smoothcomp and $10 will be discounted from your overall fee. Please Note: Only one coupon code can be used at checkout per competitor, per tournament.
Registration/Bracketing Using Smoothcomp
NAGA uses the Smoothcomp tournament management system for registration and bracketing. Smoothcomp is a tournament management system that allows you to register and pay for a tournament online. The system generates brackets that competitors can view and track their estimated division start time and their mat assignments. Post event, individual and team results are posted on Smoothcomp.
If you have competed in a Smoothcomp tournament in the past, you can login to Smoothcomp with your login credentials and register for this 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. If you were not placed into a bracket, the reason is likely that we need to speak with you before placing you into a division.
Team Names
We ask that all competitors check with your instructor before registering to make sure you are registered under the correct team name. This will ensure that the team awards will be given out accurately at the event. If you are already registered and used the incorrect name, please change it in your Smoothcomp profile so it is correct for all future tournaments. Instructions on how to change the name can be found HERE. But for the change to take effect at this tournament, NAGA needs to change it manually. Please check with us at the tournament or email us at [email protected] to take care of it.
Changing Weight Division or Skill Level After Registering
Due to changes in your weight or just a simple mistake of entering the incorrect weight or skill level, you may need to change them. You can do so from your Smoothcomp account. Instructions to do this can be found HERE.
Many of your questions on how to use Smoothcomp can be found answered on our FAQ page HERE.
Registrations on Tournament Day are Not Accepted
All competitors need to be registered and paid by the end of Friday’s weigh-in session (see the schedule for time). Registrations are not accepted at the tournament on Saturday.
Transgender Competitors
Competitors are required to register and compete in the division corresponding to their biological sex as assigned at birth. Please contact NAGA at 860-537-3686 or [email protected] if assistance is needed registering for these divisions. The NAGA Transgender policy can be found HERE.
