Dream Event Day

What time to arrive

Check the Official Schedule to know what time to arrive by, and what time your child’s division will be called to compete.

All competitors must be weighed in AT LEAST ONE HOUR before their division’s scheduled time on the Official Schedule. Please factor in extra time to park, get inside the venue, any lines, etc.

Spectators

All registrations include one free spectator.

Additional spectators cost $10 at the door.

Entrance

Doors open at 8:15am.

  • Athlete Check In: Find the "Athlete Check In" table with two lines separated by last name (A-L and M-Z) and give your child's full name. This is also where each athlete can pick up a wristband for their 1 free spectator.

  • Spectators: The cost is $10. This can be paid by cash, venmo (@DreamJiuJitsu / we will have a QR code printed), or credit card.

  • Coach Check In: Coaches can pick up their wristbands at the "Coaches" table, where they will be asked which academy they are representing and their full name.

Weigh ins

Find the canopy inside, which is where weigh ins take place. Weigh ins open at 8:15am.

There will be at least two lines for weigh ins and you can choose either one. Once your child is weighed in, he or she will receive a blue or red hand stamp and is all set until it's time to compete!

We will also have a designated weigh ins line for Green, Orange, and Yellow belts only since they are the first to compete.

Warm up mats

Warm up mats will be marked by a brown flag.

Bullpen

The bullpen will be near the weigh ins and marked by a yellow flag.

Update starting with the June 22, 2024 tournament: The time listed on the official schedule will be the time that the division is called to the bullpen.

Once kids are at the bullpen, they will wait until a Ring Coordinator (yellow vest) calls their name and puts them in a numbered line. When your child is called to a numbered line, that will tell you which mat they will be competing on. When all competitors from a bracket are lined up, the Ring Coordinator will bring them to the assigned mat.

Competing in double elimination

All competitors will have at least two matches. If a competitor loses one match, he or she will still have at least one more match.

Podium

All competitors must stay at the mat until a Podium Runner (purple vest) brings all kids from the bracket to the podium.

Prize table

The Prize Table will be marked by the purple flag. This is where you can give your child’s full name to pick up their themed shirt, poster, and giveaway that are included with registration.

These can be picked up at any time during the event.

We cannot mail any shirts or prizes if they are forgotten.

We will also have past event t-shirts available for sale at this table.

Medic

The Medic Table will be inside the competition area and marked by a red flag.

Concessions

All tournaments will have acai by Sky Bowls and Brazilian BBQ by Stick’n’Bite.

Some tournaments may have additional food vendor options, a resin art vendor, some apparel/gi vendors, and more.

If you need more than what is available (such as water or snacks) - please make sure to bring your own. There may not be many water bottles for sale at the venue.

Questions or concerns

All managers will be wearing a red vest. We are happy to help you with any questions!
