🥋 Why VERSUS?

More matches. Less stress. At most tournaments, you lose once and your day is over. Not at VERSUS. Our smart round-robin system gives you up to 4 matches—no matter if you win or lose.

That means: ✔️ More experience ✔️ More rolling ✔️ Better value

If a bracket gets too large, we split it into groups and run a final to keep things clear and competitive.

Back to the essence. We keep it fun, fair, and focused. Good matches, chill vibes, and a positive atmosphere. No hype, no chaos—just real grappling.

Fuel that actually fuels. Expect warm wraps and high-quality açaí bowls, not sad bananas and dry protein bars. Real food for real athletes.

Smooth day, solid setup. We space out matches smartly, communicate clearly through Smoothcomp, and run medal ceremonies right after your bracket ends. You just need to show up and roll.

🔁 How our system works
Up to 4 matches per athlete in most brackets.
Everyone fights multiple times—no “one and done”.
Large brackets? We split them and finish with a final.
