Note: the Team Challenge will take place at our next BJJ and no-gi event:
http://www.nhbgear.com/forum/index.php/topic,73740.0.html US Grappling presents our first
Team Challenge:
Four representatives from each team will face off in the following weight divisions:
-149.9 and below
-up to 169.9
-up to 189.9
-190 and above
The matches will be no-gi, tournament format. Each team will be awarded 5 points for each grappler finishing in first place, 3 points for 2nd place, and 2 points for 3rd place. As a tie-breaker, the team with the most submissions will get the win.
The winning 4-man team from the Team Challenge will receive $1000 CASH.... AND... 200 overall Team Points.
The rules:
1. Each team MUST register each competitor online at
www.usgrappling.us.
2. Each team has to field 4 competitors.
AND.... The team with the most team points wins 50 custom US Grappling patches, 50 custom US Grappling T-shirts, and a GIANT team trophy. Remember- the winning Team Challenge winners' team receives 200 points. This way, the playing field is leveled- if you have a really good smaller team, you can win the Team Challenge and potentially win the team points (normal division winners get 5 team points). To further even things up, for the first time, we're going to have kids' team points and adult team points separate!
This all takes place at US Grappling's submission grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament at the
Combat Sports North American Championships.
July 14th . Richmond, VA.
