We are using Area 1 which gives us tiered seating for 850 spectators. Coach tickets are available free of charge, one per academy and must be booked in advance.

We will  be running both Gi and No-Gi divisions!

Early entry price is £35 for one division and £45 for both gi and no-gi. These prices run until 29th of April at midnight.

Late Entry price is £45 for one division and £55 for both gi and no gi. These prices run until either the close of entries at midnight on the 20th of May or we reach event capacity of 250 individual competitors.

The gi competition is open to all belt divisions.

No gi divisions are by BJJ rank or time served. If you train at a Gi school then follow the BJJ Belt (taking into account the other restrictions mentioned), otherwise it's time served.

The divisions are: -

Beginner - (White belt or less than 18 months experience, IBJJF white belt rules, 5 minute matches)

Intermediate - (Blue belts or between more than 18 months and less than 36 months experience, IBJJF blue belt rules, 6 minute matches)

Advanced (Purple belts plus those who have grappled for more than 36 months but less than 60 months uses IBJJF , 7 minute matches)

Elite (Brown and black belts plus those who have more than 60 months grappling experience. 8 minute matches)

There will be Masters divisions for all competitors aged between 30 and 39 inclusive and a Seniors division for competitors who are aged 40 or over. All masters and seniors matches are 5 minutes long.

Weigh-ins for those doing both gi and no-gi divisions will take place in the morning prior to your gi division. White belts will be weighed in between 8:45 and 9:30am. Other belts will weigh in between 10 and 10:30am. We intend to start the first gi divisions at 9:45am. If you are doing both gi and no-gi you only need to make weight once providing you select matching divisions. If you select two different categories you will need to weigh in twice.

Weigh-ins for those only doing the no-gi divisions will take place between 1 and 1:30 prior to the start of your no-gi division.

Please note that divisions of less than 3 people will not run. Competitors will be emailed to see whether they wish to move to a higher weight category or be moved down in age group in the event of master and seniors entries. This is to prevent competitors being left with no matches due to no-shows in their division.

Also Dan grades in Judo , professional MMA fighters and those who have wrestled at a national level are ineligible to compete at white belt and must enter at blue belt minimum for gi and Intermediate for no gi regardless of BJJ grade.

All divisions will be run on a single elimination basis.
