Additional Grappling Information
- Contest duration is 3 minutes for men and women.
- Divisions will be made-up of age and weight groups at the discretion of the Tournament Officials according to entries.
- Participants are required to bring their specific sports membership record to the competition weigh-in as evidence of their experience level. All entrant’s names will be crossed checked against other organisations to stop competitors from falsely misrepresenting their experience level and entering in the incorrect division.
- This is a No-Gi grappling tournament, no grabbing of any clothing during the contest is permitted.
- Events eligibility will be confirmed by your national sporting body e.g. if you have been a member of the IBJJF for 4 years then you are classed as an intermediate level competitor.
- If you have studied multiple disciplines over the same time period e.g. from October 2016 to October 2020 you have been studying Judo for 4 years and during that time you started studying BJJ concurrently from October 2018 to October 2020. You are classed as an Intermediate level competitor as you have studied Judo for 4 years which is the determining factor in your level of grappling experience.
- If you have studied multiple grappling forms consecutively e.g. Judo from 1 January 2019 until 31 December 2019 and then studied Submission Arts Wrestling from 1 January 2020 until 14 November 2020, you are deemed to be a Novice competitor as you have less than 2 years grappling experience.
- If you have a black belt in any grappling based martial art, you are immediately classed as an advanced level competitor.
- If you are an active wrestler (either Greco Roman or Freestyle Wrestler) your collective training experience in terms of years active will determine your competitor level.
- Weigh in will be conducted 2 hrs before your match is due to commence, this is to prevent dangerous weight cutting practices from occurring.
- This tournament will be run according to the World Submission Arts Wrestling Tournament ruleset as it is conducive and fair for all grappling styles and participants.
