[IranianWarMachine]

[Bateman]

I am in

(10 characters)

[vileniall]

£40!?!?!?!?!?!

[Bateman]

it was £30

[vileniall]

oh thats ok then. I can take consolation in the fact people could have paid £10 less

[Rob T]

Contact the organisers and let them know the cost is putting you off entering. I would imagine they will consider it depending on what sort of entry numbers they are getting.

[vileniall]

It just seems steep to me. maybe i'm just tight.

[Bateman]

it is steep mate, i hope i get a free tshirt .. if not, then its going off !!

[ninja minja]

Don't forget the closing date is only just over a couple of weeks away.

To help promote the event, the entry fee will stay at £30.00.

Medal winners will get prizes sponsored by Manto and a high quality medal, made by the Brazilian manufacturer's who supply the Mundials and Panams.

Get your entries in at www.nogibritishopen.com !

[jonbroster]

Hi,

I was wondering how entries are going for this.

Jon

[ngireland]

i have a question about the weigh ins.

since the categories were changed from before, it now says you have to weigh in right before your first match? is this right?

if so would it be possible to change my weight division?

[Daihlo]

Hi guys, CageFilm are filming the event for you and will also be throwing in a free EXCLUSIVE instruction video with Braulio Estima for all who enter the comp!

Hope to see you there!

Tim

[ninja minja]

I'm not involved with the comp but that would be in-line with IBJJF rules and the way the gi British Open was run.

[IranianWarMachine]

do i get a refund if i pull out before tomorrow, i'm out for a month with a back injury.

[Soldmysoulforabeer]

Anyone know how many entrants have entered this comp?! I know i'm one of the lucky people who have entered!

I think a lot have, but i don't about white belts from the north getting there for 8:30 weighing in then fighting at 9:00 is a bit irritating, especially after a near 3 hour car drive.
