grappling comp

[dannygiblin]

hi folks i am considring holding a grappling comp in york, with a simple format everyone (fighters and spectators) pay a fiver entry, absolute rules winner takes all the gate fee (plus either £50 or £100 on top of the gate fee depending upon sponsors) minus expenses (room hire) or there is weight classes and the prize money is shared equally between the winners of each weight class.
you can only win by submission, timelimits of fifteen mins if no one has won by sub then both competitiors are out of the comp.


what are everyones thoughts on this, what you generally be the best weekend to hold it.

this isn't a confirmed comp yet, if enough interest is shown then it will be,

your thoughts please?

[Emmet J]

What if nobody gets a sub within 15 minutes in the final?

[mmashay]

this sounds ace, decisions in grappling comps suck! id fight in it but like emmet pointed out the rules have have to be different for the final. no time limit? lol.

[dannygiblin]

yeh no time limit was the plan for the final sorry forgot to add that sorry

[Robbo Cop]

Sounds like a cracking idea.

[dannygiblin]

hi sorry for the long delay but i wanted to do this properly, the hall has been booked for the 20 th sept, event starts at 11 am so get there for 10.30pm. location is york university sports centre (ask for the york mma session if theres any probs).
the rules :- 15 mins to end to fight with a submission otherwise both competitors are out. no points system in place to win you may only do so by submission.(except in final where in goes til there is a submission victory)
weights:- absolute rules in place, however initally to make the fights more equal we will try and match the competitors as close to weight as possible, this will continue until we can nolonger match weight.
illegal submissions- no grabbing of the trachea (throat), small joint manipulation (finger locks), twisting spine lock (such as 'the twister')
enterance fee is £10, this is all collected in a big pot and given to the winner, the only thing we take out is room hire.
hopefully a website and facebook group will be available soon any questions reply on the thread or PM me, to enter PM me with name, club, weight,
hopefully this will be a good event any serious suggestions will be taken into account to make it a good grappling comp. all the best

Good idea Danny!!

[Duchman]

would love to do this.......

[mmashay]

sounds awesome, but y no weight classes. lol at fight until submission in final! good idea.

[dannygiblin]

theres no weight classes at the moment so the winner has more money, but if more sponsors and people turn up then i'l firstly split it into pro and novice then into weight classes.
i currently have £200 confirmed sponsorship that with no one turning up yet, got another two companies to work on so hopefully have 400 quid before anyone has turned up

[lutadormma]

Is it going to be a case of just turning up on the day or do people have to register?

[dannygiblin]

just turn up on the dday pal

[Rob Hannis]

You could do with this having a proper title and thread to get some more intrest. And get it on a few more forums, such as efn forum as well as get to the uma/gb grappling event to flyer it there to get more people along

[Dave Hirst]

I disagree, I think it should be kept low-key. I don't want people who actually know how to grapple finding out about it and coming along to beat me.
