Free grappling comp at VTJJ gym
Address:-
Unit 1A Cricketts Lane
Chippenham
Wiltshire
SN15 3EQ
Weight divisions:-
Adults
Open weight/Absolute
-93
-84
-77
-70
-65
Women will probably have to be open weight. If you won't compete against someone over a certain size, let me know
I might add experience classes if I get enough entries. I may also merge the 65 and 70 divisions if i don't have enough entries but I will let you know a week in advance so you can adjust your weight
Kids (under 16)
+50
-50
-40
-30
-25
-20
kids submission division (open weight)
might add more if I get enough entries
0.5kg allowance for your crappy scales (mine are accurate ;)). Weigh-ins at 9-9.30, comp starts at 10. If you are late, you may not be entered in to your division (you can still jump in the absolute). Divisions limited to 8 competitors, first come first serve
Rules
No subs for kids except in the kids sub division
Any choke
Any armlock
No twisting leg/ankle locks. Figure four ankle locks (toe holds) are allowed
No spine/neck locks/cranks (including twister, stocks and can opener). A rough guillotine will be allowed
No slams over 6 inches (ref's judgement). If you are lifted over 6 inches, you have to let go and restart in guard
No normal dirty stuff (striking, eye gouging, pinching, hair pulling etc). If you are unsure about a technique, ask me and I will tell you if your dirty tactic is allowed
Points
Takedown - 2
Clean takedown (land in side control or mount) - 4
Mount - 2
Knee on belly - 2
Take the back with hooks or body triangle (must be properly on back) - 2
Sweep from guard or half guard - 2
Pulling guard/half guard - minus 1 unless significant sub attempt within 3 seconds
Reversal from mount/side control - 0
No points scored if significant sub attempt is made during transition. Significant sub attempt is at ref's discretion
Positions must be held for 3 seconds. Points must be scored for something else before they can be awarded for the same position again
Everyone will have to sign a waiver
My gym is not very big, so space will be given to competitors first. Spectators may not get access
Rounds will be 4 mins with 1 min over time and will all be knockout tournament format. If numbers are low, I might do a round robin
2 matches guaranteed, as I'll match up those who lose in the first round
Because I won't be taking in any money, I probably won't have much in the way of medals or trophies. Winners can feel free to buy their own
If you wish to enter, email me at leighremedios@gmail.com with the division you wish to enter and your experience level (+/- 2 years). If I do experience divisions, sandbaggers may or may not be moved into another division (including putting you up a weight class) but you will almost certainly be ripped and taunted by me
Entries by October 3rd, so I can let people know if I'm merging/splitting divisions. Entries after that will cost a tenner as a laziness tax
Any questions or feedback are welcomed
