If you weigh more than you registered, let us know before hand so we can amend your entry.

All who register are provisionally placed into categories within the age weight limit allowances. We do NOT merge categories. If fighters cant be directly matched we will create new divisions within the closest age and weight allowance for a fair fight.

If we cant match you within the age & weight allowances we will refund you or allow you switch rules or move up a ages weight division at YOUR coaches consent.

All divisions are provisional until all fighters have weighed in, passed licence check and passed medical where required. These things are out of our control but will do our best to manage any changes which need to be made following the check stages.

We will always do our best to match as many as possible, but will always notify and refund those that cant be matched.

If pay through PayPal these are much quicker refund returns than card payments. This is out of our control but will en-devour to get your repayment to you as soon as possible.
