Midwest Grappling League - November 2020

The cost is $60 for Gi and No Gi. If you choose to do only one division the price is the same. 

This is NOT an open event. If you or your team wish to compete, you must complete all registrations.

Registration will end November 5th. Absolutely No day of registration.

Midwest Grappling League was formed to give grapplers in the Midwest more matches in a professional environment.

What makes us different? Quite a few things

1. All the matches are 7 minutes. If there is a tie the tournament organizer, Bruce Hoyer will act as the judge.
2. We award submission attempts to promote finishes and we get them. Currently, we are at about 75% submission rate
3. We give out cash prizes for the winners
4. We Live Stream our matches….. for Free! Including scoring, commentating and multiple camera angles

We host the event in our gym. Sure we do it to keep the cost low to enter but honestly, I love our gym as far as a venue. It has showers, it has a large mat area, three bathrooms, and a seating area. It’s a great setup for BJJ… I would much rather have it here than an event center. Our mat space is 80×36 and typically we only run 2-3 mats. During COVID we will be only running 1 mat. So you have plenty of space to warm up and compete.

We try to get you as many matches as possible unless it is an 8 person event single elevation event.

We start our event at 3pm – We do this so you don’t have to get a hotel room - Weigh Ins will be right before your division so please come in on weight!

We run on time – We only do one belt level to focus on those matches and to ensure that the event is done quick

All and all we are not trying to replace the events in the area! We think they are great and we compete at them all the time. Our goal with these are to treat them like team duals almost. An event with a laid back atmosphere where you know you will have opponents compete and be done quick and have a great time!

If the match is tied at the end of 7 minutes a judge will award the winner. This will be based off of the IBJJF Point system, aggressiveness and submission attempts.
