Smoothcomp was born.

Our team has experience in arranging big tournaments since the year 2000 and we have been competing ourselves on a high international level, so you could say we’ve seen it all.

We know how much work is involved in organizing a great tournament. After looking for a good solution but never finding one ourselves, we decided to build our own platform. Smoothcomp was born. We are now on a fantastic journey to help other organizers, athletes and coaches all over the world to a better tournament experience.

The founders

Ricard Carneborn

COO & Co-founder

  • Black Belt in BJJ
  • Black Belt in Sport Ju-Jutsu

Ricard has trained martial arts since 1986 and competed for 10 years on elite level. He is head instructor for his academy Nacka Dojo, CEO of Ctrl Sports and co-founder of Smoothcomp. He is the organizer of some of the biggest tournaments in Scandinavia called Nordic Open - tournaments for both BJJ and JJIF Fighting established in 2000. He loves his work and the motto: “Working hard for something we do not care about is called stress - working hard for something we love is called passion”.

Martin Varghult

CPO & Co-founder

  • Black Belt in BJJ

Martin has been working with web design since the late 90’s and founded the web agency Pixelstore in 2005. He trains BJJ in Stenungsunds Kampsportsakademi under fellow Smoothcomp sensei Martin Janson. Together they developed the embryo for Smoothcomp while hosting the tournament Swedish Open BJJ. Martin loves design and graphical user interfaces. He follows Dieter Rams’ ten principles for good design and the motto “good design is as little design as possible”.

Martin Janson

CEO & Co-founder

  • Black Belt in BJJ

Martin has been involved in martial arts since 1996, fighting “light MMA” or “Shootfighting” in the early 2000s. Since 2005 he has dedicated himself to grappling and BJJ. He runs a BJJ academy in his hometown Stenungsund. The academy started up organizing a small tournament back in 2005 that over time became Swedish Open BJJ - one of Northern Europe’s largest BJJ tournaments. Martin loves great organization as much as he dislikes unnecessary work; “everything should run smooth”.
