Get in the game! Sign up to be a part of FIST 2026
WIT’s epic tournament is gearing up once again! Sign-ups for FIST 2026 are now live. The deadline for submissions is Thursday, Jan. 29 at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1 at 11:59 p.m.
The Fighting Improv Smackdown Tournament (FIST) will run March 12 – April 11. For the uninitiated, FIST is a bracketed tournament in which teams of improvisers fight their way up the brackets toward championship glory—like college basketball’s March Madness, but with MORE MADNESS. Teams advance or are eliminated based on anonymous audience voting. One team will become the FIST Champions, emerging to cheers, validation, and, of course, glory. Get all the info you need and more in the FIST FAQ.
Want to compete but don’t have a team? Or want to play with new people? WIT is once again playing matchmaker. Sign up to be on a team, and WIT will help you assemble a team and connect you with other players based on your level of experience and any other preferences you identify. From there it is on you to coordinate your submission.
The matchmaker form can be found HERE. The matchmaker sign-up form will close at noon on Monday, Jan. 26 Thursday, Jan. 29, giving players enough time to plan prior to the submission deadline.
