Grappling tournaments 4 a beginner?

[freedomfighten]

Hi everyone,i've been grappling for 18months now and wish to enter my first tournament in england or wales.
So can anyone recommend any tournaments where i wont be over matched and put in with against good experience boys?

Tounaments with different experience levels is something i'm looking for.

thanks

Not sure if i'm thinking of the same 1; i think i missed the 1 last year but a few lads i know went down and said it was 1 of the best run grappling comps they had been to. Is it an elimination or round robin tournament? I think i might give it a crack this year. I also hear there may be another sub league starting up within the next few months up north. Fingers crossed.
