RANKED EVENT
All GATOR events are part of the nationwide ranking system entitled RANKED. Our goal is to identify the best grapplers in the country for various ages and gender. The GATOR Nationals Grappling will be nationally ranked – so do not miss your opportunity to gain points towards a true national title.
Visit www.NationallyRanked.com for more details.

SANDBAGGERS BEWARE
GATOR works diligently to prevent "sandbagging", or the practice of fighting down skill levels to ensure one takes home an award. GATOR is working with RANKED to track all fighters and ranked grappling events to produce true "national standings.” These standings provide GATOR with knowledge of who has competed and at which level to provide a fair and fun atmosphere. Front door and ring personnel will use RANKED data to determine whether or not individuals who have fought in past events belong in a higher skill level of competition (i.e. placed 1st at a prior GATOR event).

WEIGH-IN ON FRIDAY and SATURDAY
GATOR will also be offering all competitors the option of registering and weighing-in the night before the tournament weekend! Registration and weigh-in are available Friday, May 13th from 6:00-9:00 PM and also on Saturday, May 14th beginning at 8:00 AM.

DOUBLE THE TEEN DIVISIONS - NEW AGE GROUPS
With the increasingly large number of teenagers competing at GATOR events we have doubled the number of teen divisions. We now have separate age group divisions for teens 13, 14, and 15 year olds, and 16 and 17 year olds. Children 12 years and under are also broken down by weight and age.
