MERGERS: Once the registration and change deadline have passed, competitors that are alone in their division will be merged by default as per our merger guidelines. Competitors with no available merges as indicated by an ‘x’ next to their division name, must contact us at grapplingindustries@gmail.com to be issued a credit to a future event if without a match in all of their divisions. Please note that Grappling Industries does not contact competitors directly regarding mergers; it is each competitor’s responsibility to check their brackets and reach out if there are any issues or concerns. By registering for a Grappling Industries event, you acknowledge that mergers may not always be possible and that a credit will be issued in such cases.
