Make an adult account on smoothcomp

Smoothcomp is an event management platform used by organizers such as GFORCE to run competitions. You can browse all local BJJ competitions on there. We run Melbourne Championships on there.

Melbourne Championships is beginner friendly and runs in a fun way for kids. It’s also Round Robin which means you fight all the other kids in your bracket even if you loose (whoever does best overall gets the Gold). Normally it’s first loss and you’re out.

Step 2.

Using profiles create a secondary profile for each child. You can then manage their registrations by clicking on their profiles

In Australia many large tournaments are run by the AFBJJ (Australian Federation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) such as the upcoming Nationals. To participate in these events you need to have an active membership

    Official IBJJF Rule Book

    Rules Update Guide

    IBJJF UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

    GIs should be tailored using cotton or cotton-like fabric only. The fabric should not be so thick or hard as to impede an opponent from gripping it. A GI fashioned from woven fabric is mandatory for all age divisions.

    It is permitted to wear kimono with EVA or similar material inside the collar, if the measures of size and rigidity regulations provided in the IBJJF Rules Book are followed.
    GI COLOR AND PATCHES

    GI COLOR AND PATCHES

    GIs must be of uniform color. The following colors are permissible: white, royal blue or black. Gis with tops and pants of different colors are not permitted; nor are GIs with a collar that is a different color than the rest of the top. Painted GIs are forbidden, unless the paint is designed in the form of an academy or sponsor logo – and only on regions of the GI where patches are permitted. Even in cases where they are permitted, the athlete will be obliged to change GIs should the paint mark the GI of the opponent. Patches may only be affixed in authorized regions of the GI, as depicted in the IBJJF Rules Book. They should be of cotton fabric and properly seamed. All patches unseamed or in unauthorized regions of the GI will be removed by the GI inspectors.
    GI MEASUREMENTS

    GI MEASUREMENTS

    The GI top should reach the athlete’s thigh and the sleeves should come to no more than 2 cm from the athlete’s wrist when the arm is extended straight parallel to the ground. GI pants should reach no more than 2 cm above the tibial malleolus (ankle bone). The inspection will verify whether the following official measurements are met: GI lapel thickness (1.3 cm), width of GI collar (5 cm), opening of sleeve at full extension (7 cm).
