AWARDS:

The tournament is single elimination.

Medals will be awarded to the 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place of each division.

In the event of an athlete not having anyone else registered in their age or weight divisions we will combine divisions and give notice to all athletes. Children who are moved into another weight division due to being the only competitor in their division will be awarded a gold medal regardless of placement in the division they are moved into.

BOUNTIES - CASH BONUS: 

Two submission techniques common to BJJ will be shared on social media and in person at the event that, if performed during a match to force an opponent to tap out verbally or physically, will result in the fighter who performed the technique receiving $25 and a “Submission of the Night” certificate. The fighter does not have to win their respective division to receive the submission of the night award; the fighter only needs to win a match by way of either approved technique. Since names are commonly changed in the sport, examples of these techniques will be on display on our social media. The techniques are commonly referred to under the following names: 

1. BOW AND ARROW CHOKE 

2. ARMBAR FROM THE BACK 

The referee for your individual match will have all say in whether or not your techniques performed are eligible for a submission of the night bonus. Their decision is final. 
Athletes can perform these techniques to earn the submission of the night bonus in gi or no gi divisions. 
An athlete may only win one submission of the night bonus. 
Athletes are not encouraged to attempt techniques they are not familiar with and are encouraged to compete with their own safety in mind. 

WEIGH-INS:

ALL WEIGH-INS WILL BE THE DAY BEFORE AT SITTON FIELD FROM 6-8
Every athlete will report to the weigh-in table at 6 o’clock on the day before the competition at Sitton Field. Athletes that are unavailable the day before due to travel or other conflicts can weigh in at 4 o'clock the day of the competition. 

There is only one opportunity to check the weight. If the competitor does not make his/her weight, they will be immediately disqualified.

There is a 1 pound weight allowance for athletes competing in no gi divisions. No Gi Example: - 107.0 lbs means athletes must weigh 107.0 lbs with a maximum of 108.0 lbs in a No Gi division. Any weight over 108 lbs will result in disqualification.
