The idea for Grapplefest came about somewhere back in '06 or '07 when my sons and I were driving back from some $100 single elimination tournament. It was probably our 9th or 10th road trip to compete, usually Vegas, LA or Denver, and this time everyone lost their first match; one and done, thanks for coming.

Grapplefest Now Using Strongvon for Registrations
Folks we have made a long anticipated transition to Strongvon for managing our tournament Registrations. This will come as great news to many who are familiar with Strongvon software. You'll be able to see the brackets online as well as gain many efficiencies that will improve the flow of tournaments.
Some will need some time to get used to it.. Just as the software gives more control over your registration it is not forgiving when it comes to mistakes when signing up to compete, or in declaring weight and making weight.
