**The onus is on the Coaches and Athletes to know the Rulesets**
Please carefully read the rules for DAY ONE and for DAY TWO as they are different.

DAY TWO - NO GI SUBMISSION ONLY:
Submission Only Tournament with Modified Submissions for the development of the athlete in mind.  A good tournament experience can make or break an athlete from further competitions, or even from the sport.
We have aimed to be beginner friendly, while also allowing some freedom for the more experienced grapplers.  Micro Division will not have any submissions and will play the Guard Game. 

* Round Robin
* We will do our best to place the closest 5 competitors based on rank and weight
* Weigh-ins will only need to be done once (can be from previous day)
* Please consider registering up a weight class if there is a chance the athlete will need weight allowance by the time the tournament takes place
* Please register based on age as of tournament date, not as of registration date
