Is this a full contact event? Can I knock out my opponent?
While Muay Thai is inherently a contact sport, this event is NOT designed nor intended to be a full contact event. This is a semi contact event where athletes will be under the watchful eye of trained ring officials with emphasis on technique. Going too hard will result in a Disqualification and possible permanent expulsion from our events.
Can professional fighters compete?
This event is not at all intended for professional fighters. If you have fought professionally in any full contact combat sport (kickboxing, mma, boxing, muay thai), this event is not for you.
Will there be a winner and a loser?
Yes the goal is for you and your opponent to complete 3 rounds where we will declare a winner and a loser based on our judging criteria.
Can I contest a decision?
No, it's semi-contact. If there are any questions, only the cornerman in the corner can approach the head official with questions or concerns. The only time the decision will be reversed is in the event that the scorecards were incorrectly tallied by the officials.
Do these count on my record?
Yes, these count as EXPERIENCE ON YOUR RECORD and we will be reporting these publicly online for results. Please include this as experience when registering at any events.
Do you have someone in my division?
We encourage you to register and we will find matches for you. We will always match as best as possible in regards to age, weight, and experience level.
Can people come watch me?
Absolutely! We encourage you to bring friends & family to share in Muay Thai. We will have tickets available for purchase for entry at the door.
When do I know if I have a match? Can you tell me who I'm matched with?
We do our best to match everyone and begin matching typically 2-3 weeks away from each event based on our paid registrants. With the nature of these, people can sign up leading up to the event so we might adjust your match to better fit you as we move towards the event day.
We will begin notifying people who do have a match via EMAIL ON FILE with our newsletter leading up to the event. So it's important that you stay up-to-date there. We try to finalize matches the Monday before the event and fulfill any last minute matchups that may still need to happen.
So you'll know for sure the week of the event if you have a match or not. If you do not have a match, we can offer a deferral or a refund of registration fee.
We will tell you who you're matched with the week of via our email newsletter but know that it may still change due to drops/cancels/injuries/weight adjustments to best suit the competition.
