Claim this eventThe American Grappling Federation brings gi and no-gi competition to Miami on Saturday, November 21, 2026. Kids, juveniles and adults can select regular or Challenger categories, with a separate no-gi Pro Grappling option for eligible athletes aged 16 and older. Regular and Challenger divisions use different bracket structures. Regular divisions generally follow double elimination, with best-of-three for two entrants and round-robin for three. Larger regular brackets have single-elimination finals. Challenger divisions use single or modified single elimination depending on their size, so a single loss can end an athlete’s participation. A particular number of matches is not guaranteed.
Competitors may weigh in without the gi. Complete weigh-in before reporting to staging for the uniform check, and review AGF’s current hygiene, uniform and allowed-technique rules for your exact division. No extra weight allowance is assumed.
After passing the uniform check, wait in the competition holding area, called the PIT, in the line for your mat until the ring coordinator calls you. Once admitted, do not leave without the PIT manager’s permission. Missing your call or being unready to compete can lead to disqualification.
Use the live bracket and staging information throughout the day rather than treating the initial schedule as fixed.
Saturday, November 21: doors and weigh-ins open at 7:30 am. Children have priority in the weigh-in line; adults may weigh in early when no children are waiting and must weigh in on their competition day. A brief coaches’ and competitors’ meeting is listed for 8:15 am. Neither an overall first-match time nor a finishing time has been confirmed here. Competitor corrections close Monday, November 16 at 11:59 pm. Bracket changes are scheduled to be completed by 5 pm Tuesday, November 17, with bracket corrections due by noon Wednesday, November 18. Brackets and the schedule are due by noon Thursday, November 19. Follow the live schedule as timings can change. Arrive approximately 1.5–2 hours before your staging-group time. Staging is when you must be ready for uniform checks, not your match start. Divisions may be called 15–30 minutes before the posted staging time.
Gi and no-gi entries cover kids and juvenile–adult categories, with Challenger options alongside regular divisions. Select the exact age, rank and weight category in registration; do not assume that every listed category will have an opponent. Challenger divisions provide additional competitive opportunities and a Challenger Medal, but eligibility differs for children and adults. They can be especially difficult for younger children. Read the Challenger rules before entering rather than treating them as another ordinary bracket. Pro Grappling is no-gi only, for athletes aged 16 or older, with mixed rank and age, gender separation and two weight classes. The event describes a winner’s invitation to an end-of-year cash-prize event, not an immediate cash award at Miami. Confirm the qualification conditions with AGF. AGF may combine divisions when appropriate. Review the final bracket and any age, weight or rank adjustment; the original category is not a guarantee of the final matchup.
Current displayed entries are $135 USD. Additional-entry prices and package discounts were not confirmed; review the full checkout total before paying. Early and normal registration have ended. Late registration and competitor corrections close Monday, November 16 at 11:59 pm. The registration widget separately lists November 16 at 10:59 pm as the last chance for a 100% refund and November 16 at 11:59 pm as the cancellation deadline. These are different deadlines: cancelling during the last hour does not establish refund eligibility. Confirm the applicable conditions directly with AGF before relying on a refund. No refund entitlement is guaranteed by this listing. Keep your weight, rank, academy and contact details accurate, and check the November 17–19 bracket-review milestones before travelling.
Challenger entries offer the opportunity to earn the Challenger Medal. Pro winners are described as receiving an invitation to a later end-of-year cash-prize event; no cash amount or immediate Miami payout is promised. The complete event-specific award allocation was not confirmed.
