Family Rates
We understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer relief to families who have multiple family members competing in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors, not spectators. When registering a family, you register each competitor individually. For 2 family members the discount is $25, 3 members is $50, 4 members $75, and so on.
To obtain a family discount, register all the family members who are competing, then call our office at 860.537.3686 or email us at [email protected]. We will need the names of the competitors, and which tournament they are registered. We will then refund your form of payment the appropriate family discount amount.
In Smoothcomp, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually.

Registration/Bracketing Using Smoothcomp
NAGA uses the Smoothcomp tournament management system for registration and bracketing. Smoothcomp is a tournament management system that allows you to register and pay for a tournament online. The system generates brackets that competitors can view and track their estimated division start time and their mat assignments. Post event, individual and team results are posted on Smoothcomp.
If you have competed in a Smoothcomp tournament in the past, you can login to Smoothcomp with your login credentials and register for this tournament. If this is the first time you are using Smoothcomp, you will need to create an account with them before you can register for a NAGA tournament.
Brackets are posted on Friday night. If you were not placed into a bracket, the reason is likely that we need to speak with you before placing you into a division.
There is a scam where the scammer will post on an event page saying they need to sell their tickets due to (insert tragedy here), or are streaming the event. We work to delete these as they appear and have contacted Facebook support about this, but please be aware that this is happening.
There is another scam where they say they are streaming the event and provide a malicious link. If we are streaming anything, notification will come directly from our account.
See you on the mats in 2024!
