Registrations will be public så att tävlande kan välja eller flytta sig till rätt bracket. Detta system hjälper till att säkerställa rättvisa och balanserade motstånd samtidigt som processen blir transparent för alla.

Tävlande ansvarar för att granska sina egna brackets och göra nödvändiga justeringar innan registreringen stänger. Om du tror att en bracket behöver granskas kan du kontakta oss, men det slutgiltiga ansvaret för korrekt placering ligger hos varje tävlande eller deras tränare.

Hur man flyttar till en annan bracket i Smoothcomp:

1. Logga in på Smoothcomp-kontot.
2. Gå till My Account → Registrations.
3. Hitta detta evenemang och välj Edit.
4. Välj en annan bracket som bättre passar din ålder, vikt och erfarenhet.
5. Spara ändringarna innan registreringsdeadlinen.

När registreringen stänger kommer brackets att låsas och inga ytterligare ändringar kan göras.

• Knästående på ena eller båda knäna

• På rygg eller mage (oavsett fotposition)
