The SIO Winter Classic 2027 is coming to Vancouver Island on Saturday, November 6th, 2027!
BRACKETS, SCHEDULE & WEIGH INS:
Weigh in will occur the morning of the event. Gi competitors must weigh in wearing their gi; if also competing in no-gi we can typically approve at the same time without changing clothing. Doors open at 8:30am, but preference will be given to Mighty Mites and Pee Wees so that matches can begin on time.

We use a points system and the round-robin format (rather than elimination-based) for all divisions, and the number of matches will depend on the number of competitors in your division*.
Our ‘Sub-Hunter’ ruleset favours submission wins over points wins in the rankings for medals (except for Mighty Mite divisions, which are not allowed submissions). All divisions will be formed based on a combination of age, weight, and skill. Note that the Athletes list is sorted by age and skill only, and do not represent the actual brackets (which will be formed after registration closes). We will make every effort to create even and competitive brackets; however, we reserve the right to create divisions in order to give everyone the best experience.
Brackets and schedule will be posted on Smoothcomp mid-week prior to the event and notifications will be sent to competitors. The tournament is expected to run from approximately 9am to 4pm, and competitors are required to be checked in no later than 30 minutes before their division is expected to begin. The schedule is dynamic and subject to change so we recommend affording yourself an hour to be safe.
MOVEMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY:
All competitors must ensure that their registration info (age, skill, and weight) is accurate prior to registration closing. Note that declared weight of registration will be used for the day of the event, so be sure to check again BEFORE the deadline to avoid disqualification. No division movement or weight change requests will be processed after registration closes. Changes to or cancellation of any competitor’s registration must be initiated by the competitor’s Parent/Guardian in Smoothcomp while Registration is open.
