Great Tournament Gustavo, it ran well and the competition is the best I have seen in Az.


Dave Solorio had to leave before he got his third place medal (Adult White Belt 187lbs)  Can we make arrangements to get him one?  Let me know.

[gdjiujitsu]

I'm leaving to Brazil wednesday, so Tell him to stop by monday or tuesday...

AWESOME tourney!

My kids had TONS of FUN!

they cant wait till the next one.

[AZChokester]

Will do!   Thanks Gustavo!!

[PT]

great job getting the results up so fast!

[AZChokester]

Gustavo runs one of the best tournaments there is.  I'd like to see him run a Huge tournament, he'd do a great job.  No politics, fair reffing, on time brackets.

[gdjiujitsu]

I think I did a good job...I was 20-30 minutes behind the schedule during the tournament...

I'm looking for a bigger gym for the next tournament. Hopefully I'll have a tournament every 4-5 months.

This time we 150 competitors (not bad for AZ). Slowly I'm trying the get tournament bigger and better, but it's not easy to get sponsors...
