You can weigh in for your bracket anytime before your match, but recommend you arrive 30 minutes before your bracket starts.

🔥 Gi and No-Gi Divisions with IBJJF Rules: 

Both divisions will adhere to the IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) rules, but with a significant twist – no advantages will be scored, ensuring a clear and decisive victory based solely on points and submissions. This approach promotes a more aggressive and engaging style of competition.

👊 Tie-Breakers and Overtime: In the event of a tie, matches will be resolved using a single round of EBI (Eddie Bravo Invitational) overtime. This exciting format allows for a definitive conclusion to bouts, keeping the action intense and the results unequivocal.

🏆 Absolute Brackets – Submission Only: The absolute brackets present the ultimate challenge: a single-elimination, submission-only format. Here, the only path to victory is through a successful submission, pushing competitors to their limits and showcasing the art of BJJ in its most thrilling form.  Absolute winners will also win a cash prize.   Blue and white belts or blue and purple belts may be combined into a single bracket.
