WHAT IS SMART
S.M.A.R.T. (State Martial Arts Ratings &
Totals) is a non-profit organization
supporting martial arts and martial arts
tournaments around the state of Maine.
Throughout each year and tournament
season, S.M.A.R.T. members compete
around the state in rated and ranked
tournaments where they build up points
in a tier ranking system, accumulating
as many points as possible. At the end
of each tournament season the total
points are added up and final rankings
are distributed by age and rank. The
contestant with the most points added
up at the end of all tournaments in the
season is crowned the State Martial Arts Ratings and Totals
Champion for their class, age and division. The highest
ranked competitors at the end of the season are invited to
compete at the S.M.A.R.T. State Championships with all the
finalists and season winners to crown the grand champion of
the year per class, age and division.
