Search for “Titan Gymnasium” in Apple Maps or Google Maps so that it directs you straight to our event instead of somewhere else in the school.

The parking cost varies in different lots and parking structure floors, but the cheapest place to park for the full day is in the third floor and above in the State College Parking Structure on Gymnasium Campus Dr, entering from State College Blvd.

Venue rules:

Please do not touch anything on the walls of the venue.

Schedule:
Saturday, March 14: Kids Gi
Sunday, March 15: Kids No Gi

Spectators:
Each competitor gets one free wristband each day they compete. Additional spectator wristbands can be purchased at the door on the day of each event:

  • Saturday only: $10

  • Sunday only: $10

  • Both days: $15, non refundable, available for purchase on Saturday only

Weigh Ins:
Competitors will weigh in on each day they compete.

There will not be any weigh ins for No Gi on Saturday. If you are registered for both or for No Gi only, you must weigh in on Sunday.

Maximum capacity:
Gi: 850 competitors
No Gi: 850 competitors

No Gi Skill Divisions:
No Gi brackets will be separated by solid belt color. Competitors will be able to register up in belt level if they’d like.

Theme:
Pokemon: Eeveelutions

All competitors will receive a complimentary themed shirt, poster, and pokeball that can be picked up at the Prize Table at the event. Gi items can only be picked up on Saturday, and No Gi items can only be picked up on Sunday.

Don’t forget to pick them up! We cannot mail any shirts, posters, or pokeballs after the event.

Separate designs for Gi & No Gi:

  • Medals

  • Shirts

  • Podiums

  • Posters

  • Keychains

This means that if you sign up for one division, you will receive one shirt, one poster, and one pokeball.

If you sign up for both Gi & No Gi, you will receive two different shirts, two different posters, and two pokeballs. They have different characters in them, so you should be able to get two different Pokemon if you check it before leaving the Prize Table!

The deadline to guarantee your shirt size is February 13 @ 11:59pm. After that, registration will still come with a shirt but will be picked from the sizes we have available at the event.

Cancellations:

When a competitor has to cancel, we will issue a credit for the original amount paid. We do not issue refunds for any reason.

For this event, all cancellations must be done by emailing dreambjj@gmail.com with your child’s full name and which division (Gi, No Gi, or both) you are withdrawing from.
