DREAM HALLOWEEN CHAMPIONSHIP
Sunday, October 18, 2026
This event sold out our original capacity. To accommodate more competitors, we will re-open registration on Monday, September 21 at 8:00am until we reach 1400 competitors. These final spots have sold out in less than 2 minutes before so it'll be best to set an alarm, have your payment method in hand, and Smoothcomp profile set up, logged in, and on the registration page.
In the meantime, feel free to keep an eye on the competitor list because if the number of competitors drops below 1000, that means a spot has opened up and you'd be able to sign up like normal.
For all questions, corrections, or cancellations - please email us at dreambjj@gmail.com
Our year end event - Dream Halloween! This is the final Dream Kids tournament of 2026. We highly encourage everyone to get into the spirit of Halloween and dress up in any family friendly costumes.

For the past 9 years of Dream Kids tournaments, every event has sold out as quickly as 8 minutes after opening registration. Always register as early as possible for any Dream tournaments to secure your child's spot!
