Organized by American Grappling Federation
South Florida grapplers head to Pembroke Pines on November 22, 2026 for the American Grappling Federation's Pembroke Pines Championships. Gi and no-gi divisions cover all ages and skill levels, with rated competitor brackets and certified refs.
Event Description
The 2026 Pembroke Pines Championships bring American Grappling Federation's IBJJF-inspired rulebook to South Florida, complete with AGF's distinctive Coach's Challenge bean-bag system for contesting referee calls. With roughly 900 possible age, weight, and experience division combinations from Tiny Kids (4) through Executives (50+), the event is designed to avoid stacked or mismatched brackets. This one-day championship takes place Sunday, November 22, 2026 in Pembroke Pines, FL, with both gi and no-gi competition. AGF requires pre-registration for every competitor with no day-of sign-ups; register early through the AGF Smoothcomp event page linked from this listing.
About American Grappling Federation
The American Grappling Federation (AGF) is a Dallas–Fort Worth-based tournament organizer founded in 2011 by Brandon Quick and Chris Carlino. It runs gi and no-gi tournaments for kids and adults across the US using an IBJJF-style points system, its own weight-class and experience-level divisions, and an AGF Pro elite no-gi division.
Rules
The American Grappling Federation (AGF) runs a points-based gi and no-gi tournament circuit, primarily across the southern and central United States, with divisions for kids and adults grouped by age, weight, and experience.
AGF's distinctive rule is its overtime: tied matches go to a sudden-death period where the first competitor to score a point or advantage wins immediately. If overtime also ends level, the referee decides based on who spent longer scoring or attacking submissions. Check the AGF rulebook for current point values and division rules.
Always confirm the official rulebook before you compete — organizations update rules between seasons. See the official event page for current rules.
