Submission only Championships May 2nd

May 2th is an opportunity to compete under a unique setting. Round robin for children and adults. Adult open weight divisions will be single elimination. 

Early Bird Registrations are now OPEN and available until Monday, March 28th 23:59.

Standard Registrations will be available until Monday April 26th 23:59.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE 

There is now a separate division for girls who only want to compete with other girls, if your daughter wants to compete with boys she can register in the kids division. The girls division will be run first incase there are girls that want to register for both.

The new rules and time limits for adult round robin weight divisions, adult matches including the absolutes are now 8 minute time limits with advantages given for tight submission attempts. Two fouls or penalties can be called but the third will lead to disqualification. If at the end of the match there are equal advantages the ref will award the match to the player who is trying to finish the match. 

Normal weight divisions for white belt matches are now 5 minutes, Blue belts, Purple, brown and black belt matches are 8 minutes. The absolute divisions will be the same.

The same will be for the children's matches, advantages will be given to tight choke positions, arm and shoulder locks with the time being 4 minute limits. If one child is obviously stalling and holding position and not trying to find a submission they will be given a penalty. You must work towards better positions and submissions. 

Please remember that this comp runs under the IBJJF rule system, No competitor can reap the leg, if they do they will be warned for the first and disqualified for the second. If a child uses the body triangle they will be told to let it go straight away and warned but if it's used again they will be disqualified.  

The only exception is the Brown and black belt divisions of the NOGI, we will be using the new rules on reaping and heel hooks. 

Adult absolute divisions will be now 8 minute limits, with penalties for stalling. If you foul three times you will be disqualified.

Cash prizes, medals and engraved wooden swords-  

Cash prizes are always dictated on how many make up a division, prizes are capped at $250 for first place white belts and $500 for blue.

The absolute divisions will be kept seperate no matter how many sign up to a division, skill levels will no longer be mixed to maximise number of matches or to maximise cash prizes.

At the end of the day there will be two nogi rules single elimination tournaments with $1000 cash prizes for both men and women. Both are open to purple to black, open weight, single elimination and first to register. 

Weight Selection

Weights in the drop down box are represented as net with the appropriate Gi or No Gi allowance already included in division e.g. the 82.3kg division already includes the 3.3kg allowance of the 79kg division. Competitors must be under the weight division when they step onto the official scales where they will be disqualified if over weight.

UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

We are now following a much more strict IBJJF standard of clothing, wear Brazilian jiu jitsu kimonos and grappling apparel for the nogi. Wear the appropriate colours to represent your belt level in nogi.
