FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Below are answers to questions we frequently receive concerning NAGA events. The NAGA website has a full FAQ page that answers
more questions. If you cannot find an answer to your question here or there, please email us at [email protected], or call us at 860295-0403.
Do I need to be a member of NAGA to compete?
You do not have to be a member of NAGA to compete. Joining NAGA will get you on the NAGA email list which will inform you of the
latest NAGA news (and is only sent out once a month), and the NAGA mailing list where you will receive information for tournaments
coming to your region.
Do I need to be a member of a team to compete?
NAGA does not require you to be on a team in order to compete. In fact, about 25% of our fighters are unaffiliated. NAGA events are open
to all styles: Wrestling, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Japanese Jujitsu, Sambo, Jeet Kune Do, etc. There are no restrictions on what form of
grappling you practice. We have divisions for children and adults of all ages and of all skill levels, in both gi and no-gi competition. Please
note that NAGA gi divisions do mostly follow IBJJF rules (with some NAGA alterations).
Does NAGA have a division for me?
Yes we do. NAGA has divisions for all ages and all skill levels. NAGA has had Expert level 6 years old compete and Novice level 50 year
olds compete. We have a division for everyone. For more information, click the red DIVISIONS tab located on the page of the event you
are interested in.
What is Sandbagging?
We work diligently to prevent "sandbagging", the practice of fighting down skill levels to ensure one takes home an award. NAGA tracks
past results from our events and has a list of winners from past events on hand at each event. Sandbagging is grounds for disqualification.
When I get to the tournament what do I do?
If you pre-registered: You will go to the pre-registration desk. Here you will receive your registration cards, any spectator passes you may
have purchased, and sign the event waiver. Your next step will be the referee interview. Once that is completed you will be sent to weighin.
If you are registering at the event on Friday: NAGA offers the option to register and weigh-in the night before the event. When you arrive
you will need to complete a registration form and sign the waiver on the back of the form (you can printout the form, complete it and bring it
with you). You wil then need to pay the registration fee at the cashier desk. You can purchase spectator passes at this time. You will then
go to the referee interview to have your registration cards completed. Once that is completed you will be sent to weigh-in.
If you are registering at the event on Saturday: The steps for registering on Saturday are the same as Friday except: If you are registering
on Saturday, you need to be registered and weighed-in by 12:00 PM. Registration will be shutdown after 12:00 PM. Please note that
children/teen competitors and sometimes for two-day events, women competitors are required to be at the event before 12:00 PM. Please
consult the event schedule for the tournament you are competing in for further details.
Adults, after weighing-in, you will wait for your division to be called to the bracketing area. Once your division is called to the bracketing
area, you will be able to view your bracket and find out what ring it will be taking place.
Children/teen competitors will report to their assigned ring as listed on the bracketing handout given at the event.
What forms of payment does NAGA accept?
The day of the event NAGA accepts cash or credit/debit card. Checks are not accepted.
What time will my division begin?
Estimated division start times are posted under the red SCHEDULE tab located on each tournament page. These times are update
leading up to the event, please check them regularly. The event schedule will be available as a handout at the event.
Where is my division?
NAGA uses 8-16 Rings running continuously throughout the day. When you register, you will be given a sheet indicating what ring your
division is in or when your division is estimated to begin. Adult division rings are assigned after they are called to the bracketing area.
What happens when my division is called?
Children/Teens: Need to be at their assigned ring at the time listed on the event schedule (normally 9:00 or 10:00 AM). For an estimate of
when your division will begin, you can consult the referee who is running that ring.
Adults: Your division will be called to the bracketing area. At this time the ring you are competing in will be given to you. Once your division
is called and you check-in with the NAGA official who calls your name, you will proceed to your assigned ring.
I registered for the wrong division or weight class. What can I do?
At NAGA events, you will be interviewed by a NAGA Staff member who will help place you into the correct division. Whatever division you
selected when registering can be changed at the event (up or down skill levels). There is no need to call or email NAGA to request a
change, this will all be handled at the event.
NAGA does not require you to enter a weight when registering. Your weight is determined when you step on the scale at the event. You
are not locked into a weight class until you weigh-in at the event. Please remember that you do not weigh-in with your gi on, and if you are
registering the night before the event, you only weigh-in that one time.
