STRAIGHT BLAST GRAPPLING TOURNAMENT (May 27/28)
Straight Blast Grappling Tournament - Putting the athletes first!
We want the best athlete experience. We will be running two brackets at a time to ensure proper breaks between matches, and to help make it predictable for spectators/coaches/parents.
This tournament is geared to be beginner friendly, with additional options for more experienced grapplers.
- Round Robin means up to four fights per athlete per division
- We will not be restricting Gi colors - let your character shine!
- We will do our best to create brackets of 5 athletes based on rank and weight
- If a Group of 3 is necessary, it will be Double Round Robin (four matches per athlete)
- Early weigh-ins available Friday night, or anytime before your first match
