How was this event promoted?

lol, probably only through adcc.pl, assorted polish websites and adcombat.com

Theoretically every country in europe will have/have had a national trials tho - all winners and invitees going to the ADCC European Trials in Sweden in JAnuary.

Plus its an open tournament and everyone had the chance to enter.
The trials are what most are aiming for however, which is a more balanced, meaning that there are representatives from each and every federation country.

Its the same with ADCC Italy. Its on every year at the WTKA World martial art championships when I go .I doubt anyone outside of Italy (except the WTKA directors for each country) know about this till last minute.
Would anyone from England be interested in going anyway? I've got people going over for the kickboxing.
