BUILT BY A
COMPETITOR.
Not a tech company. Not a startup. One guy who trains, competes, and got tired of not being able to find a damn tournament in his own backyard. Built in Texas. Going nationwide.
Texas has one of the biggest BJJ scenes in the country. You'd never know it.
Competition announcements buried in Facebook groups. Open mats posted on Instagram stories that disappear in 24 hours. Gyms you didn't know existed three miles from your house. Training partners scattered across 30+ cities with no way to connect.
If you wanted to know what was happening in Texas BJJ, you had to be in the right group chats, follow the right people, and check five different apps — and you'd still miss half of it.
I'm not a software engineer by trade. I'm a welder, fabricator, maintenance tech — jack of all trades, master of none. The kind of guy who builds things with his hands and figures out the rest on the fly. I started training BJJ and got hooked the same way most people do: you tap out a hundred times, then one day something clicks, and you can't imagine stopping.
I compete. I've shown up to tournaments not knowing what to expect, driven across Texas to gyms I barely found, and missed events because I heard about them too late. That's not a technical failure — that's a community that doesn't have the right tools yet.
RollCall started as a simple question: why can't I find every Texas competition in one place? That question turned into a database of comps, which turned into open mats, which turned into gym profiles, training partners, and a full platform — because once you start solving one problem, you see every connected problem next to it.
I built this because I needed it. I'm betting other people do too.
One place for every part of the Texas BJJ scene.
Community First
RollCall exists to serve the community that trained it into existence. No paywalls on the core experience. No charging competitors to find a tournament.
Built in Texas
We started in Texas because that's where we live and compete. Every gym, every comp, every open mat — covered statewide first. Get it right, then grow nationwide. No shortcuts, no faking scale we don't have.
No BS
If something's broken, we fix it. If a feature doesn't serve competitors or gyms, it doesn't make it in. Every decision is made by someone who actually trains.
Built Real
Real code, written by hand, tested in production. Every feature ships because somebody asked for it — not because it looked good on a roadmap slide. We patch bugs the day we find them and we'll tell you when something's broken before you ask.
