Submission Challenge runs a submission-only format with a double-elimination bracket and a third-place match, so a single early loss doesn't end a competitor's day. Matches follow ISOF Standard rules, with EBI-style overtime if regulation time runs out without a finish — a format that rewards competitors who go for the tap rather than play it safe. This stop hits Branson, MO on August 29, 2026, with divisions for Youth (4-12), Teens (13-17), Adults (18+, Novice through Black belt), and Masters/Directors/Executive brackets for competitors 30 and up, in gi, no-gi, and Absolute for adults. Registration stays editable through Submission Challenge's Smoothcomp page until the Thursday before the event, with weigh-ins at 8am the morning of.
Registration deadline: August 28, 2026
