IMPROVEMENTS TO THE VENUE
The growth and success of NAGA rests in large part upon feedback from the athletes, family, friends, teammates, and fans who attend our events.  We have listened and know there were a number of issues with the Will Rogers Coliseum.  For this event, coliseum staff has assured us they will extensively clean, disinfect and deodorize the facility, and adjust the temperature prior to our arrival.  After this event we are transitioning to a nearby 90,000 sq. foot facility within the same complex. We are committed to one more event at the Coliseum but have been assured that this event will be without incident.

NATIONALLY RANKED EVENT 
All NAGA events are part of the nationwide ranking system entitled RANKED. Our goal is to determine who the best grapplers in the country are for various age, gender, and skill levels.  This tournament will be nationally ranked so do not miss your opportunity to gain points towards a true national title. More details can be found at www.nationallyranked.com.
 

SANDBAGGERS BEWARE
NAGA works diligently to prevent "sandbagging", or the practice of fighting down skill levels to ensure one takes home an award.  NAGA has been working with RANKED to track all fighters and ranked grappling events to produce true "national standings."  A by-product of these standings is our knowledge of who has competed and at which level.  Front door personnel will use RANKED data to determine whether or not individuals who have fought in past events belong in a higher skill level (i.e. placed 1st at a prior NAGA event).
