Brazilian Top Team Winter In House Tournament

Our #1 goal with this event is to introduce our local youth to the IBJJF tournament ruleset. IBJJF is one of the most prestigious tournament promotions in the world and considered the standard for world championship events. 

This will be a modified Round Robin style tournament. Ruleset will follow all IBJJF standards, Scoring 4 points for mount/back control, 3 points for guard pass, 2 points for takedown/sweep/knee on belly.  It will be the competitor's responsibility to study IBJJF allowed and disallowed submissions and be prepared on the day of the tournament.
