Registration

What Is Smoothcomp?

Smoothcomp is the platform we use for athlete registration and event information at Solid Series Muay Thai events.

To register for a Solid Series event, you’ll first need to create a free Smoothcomp profile. Once your profile is set up, you can register for upcoming events and manage your registration information all in one place.

Smoothcomp is also where you’ll find important event details, including:

Registration deadlines and pricing
Competition rules and requirements
Required equipment
Weigh-in information
Other important event details to help you prepare

Smoothcomp also has a mobile app! You can access event information and your registration details through the app or website.

Please note: Unlike our BJJ tournaments, Smoothcomp is not used for Muay Thai fight schedules or bout assignments. Fight schedules are created after weigh-ins and posted at the event for athletes and coaches to reference.

The Solid Series Muay Thai Scrimmage is designed as a controlled educational experience that prioritizes athlete development, safety, and technical growth. These matches help athletes gain ring experience, develop composure under pressure, and apply Muay Thai skills in a live environment without the objective of “winning” a bout.

General Format

Every Match Is A Draw.

Every match is officially recorded as a draw
No winners or losers will be announced
The goal of each match is for athletes to complete all 3 rounds and gain as much experience as possible
Athletes are encouraged to display: clean technique, control, composure, and sportsmanship
Officials may stop or pause action at any time for athlete safety or instruction

This is an educational event designed to help athletes gain experience in a Muay Thai competition environment.

Judging & Evaluation

Scored, Not Crowned.

Although no winner is declared, officials will still evaluate athletes using traditional Muay Thai scoring criteria, including:

Balance and posture
Timing and rhythm
Accuracy and clean technique
Ring awareness and composure
Effective defense and control
Proper execution of strikes, clinch work, and sweeps

Important Note

Power, aggression, or attempting to damage an opponent are not prioritized in this format.

Understand that mistakes may happen, and approach them with patience and a willingness to work through them constructively
Set a positive example through your words, tone, and actions

Zero Tolerance

We have a zero tolerance policy for the following:

Verbal abuse, harassment, or intimidation
Aggressive or threatening behavior
Disrespect toward referees or event staff
Ignoring staff direction after being addressed
Any physical altercation outside of sanctioned matches

This policy is in place to ensure clarity and accountability for everyone involved. It is especially important in supporting our referees, staff, and event operations team so they can do their jobs effectively in a safe environment.

Consequences

Failure to meet these expectations may result in:

Verbal reminder or warning
Removal from mat-side or coaching area
Disqualification of the athlete
Removal from the venue (no refund)
Suspension from future Solid Series events

Event staff will enforce these expectations consistently and firmly to maintain a safe, respectful, and well-run event.

Our Commitment

We are committed to creating an environment where athletes can compete, coaches can coach, and staff can operate without fear of mistreatment or disruption. Clear standards—and consistent enforcement—help prevent situations like past incidents involving inappropriate behavior toward event staff or scoring tables.

Respect is the baseline. Anything outside of that will be addressed.

These standards apply to every Solid Series event. Read the full policy at solidseriesevents.com/code-of-conduct.
