Grappling Industries BOISE
Organized by Grappling Industries
The Grappling Industries BOISE tournament will take place on September 12, 2026, at the Western Idaho Fairgrounds in Boise, Idaho. This event will feature both gi and nogi competitions.
Event Description
Grappling Industries' Boise stop follows the promotion's signature format — its own IBJJF-inspired points and advantages rulebook, plus a submission-only division at select events — with brackets for kids, teens, adults, masters, and seniors across gi and no-gi. Adults, masters, and seniors can enter an Absolute division for an added fee, on top of standard belt- and weight-based brackets. The tournament is set for September 12, 2026 at the Western Idaho Fairgrounds, 5610 N Glenwood St, Garden City, in the Boise metro area. Sign-up is exclusively online through Smoothcomp and closes four days out — there's no walk-up registration, though spectators can still pay to watch at the door. Gi competitors register at their current belt; no-gi competitors may register up one level.
About Grappling Industries
Grappling Industries is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission-wrestling tournament organizer founded in 2011 in Montreal, Canada, by David Aguzzi. It's built around a proprietary Round Robin format that guarantees competitors multiple matches per division instead of single-elimination brackets, and now runs 200+ gi and no-gi events a year across North America, Latin America, the UK, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
Rules
Grappling Industries is best known for its round robin format: instead of single elimination, competitors in a division face multiple opponents — at least two matches guaranteed in the smallest divisions and typically four or more as divisions grow, with larger divisions splitting into pools that feed semifinals and finals. Placement comes from win-loss record, and a submission win carries extra weight in the standings, so finishing matches matters more than squeaking by on points.
Within each match, scoring follows IBJJF-based rules — the familiar positional point values and advantages apply. Events run both gi and no-gi divisions on the same day for kids and adults, which combined with the guaranteed-matches format makes these events popular for competitors who want mat time, not a one-loss exit.
Always confirm the official rulebook before you compete — organizations update rules between seasons. See the official event page for current rules.
