National Submission Championships 2007

Colm_OReilly

Hey all,

We've set the date for the NSC2007 as June 9th for Seniors and June 10th for Juniors.

The event will take place in UCD's Sport Centre and we'll find some way of getting three matted arenas so the action will run a little quicker. (Of course, you could just win quickly instead of having drawatons like the All Valley )

Weight Categories are:
62Kg, 68Kg, 75Kg, 83Kg, 92Kg, +92Kg

Skill Divisions: Novice, Inter, Advanced

An "Elite" may apply in the 83/92 categories if there's enough numbers. This would be for those who've won/medaled at Advanced in previous Sub Championship Ireland events.

It will be a round robin competition with 3 points for a win (submission), 0 for a draw. Standard Sub Championship Ireland rules apply.

We'll have prizes for Best Sub and Best Slam as well. Oh Yeah! :cool:

Pre-entry is €20, and entry on the day is €25.

I'll upload entry forms soon.

In the meantime, this strategy should help you.

Best of luck,
Colm

Sounds brilliant.I cant wait to compete and hopefully I'll do better this time.Better start preparing

I don't agree with the idea of an elite division.
Is the scene big enough for 4 divisions?
Also prevents a newcomer (to the regular competitors here) entering and taking the big prize.
Opinions?

Also Colm, what do you think of running a future event under the adcc weight classes, for advanced anyway. It would allow our (irish) guys to get used to competing at that weight if they decide to go for the bigger international tournaments.

Nothingcompares

adcc weight classes are

* 65 Kg and Under (Lightweight)
* 66Kg to 76 Kg (Welterweight)
* 77 Kg to 87 Kg (Cruiserweight)
* 88 Kg to 98 Kg (Light-Heavyweight)
* 99 Kg and over (Heavyweight)
* Absolute Class

NSC are:

62Kg, 68Kg, 75Kg, 83Kg, 92Kg, +92Kg

I think the 66 - 76 is way too big for the NSC.

Noooo, the prospect of cutting to 68 is bad enough, heaven forbid 65!:eek:

Scrap that, just bring in a rule that the defending champion only needs to do the final match, a la Karate Kid 3.

David Jones

I wholeheartedly agree with Clive!

Colm_OReilly

Okeydoke, it was only if there was a rake of people in the advanced division, I thought it would be a nice way to split them.

I'll leave the weight classes as they are for this one, next season we'll see about changing them.

Subbway

Heh. I wouldn't mind splitting the divisions. -83 advanced seemed kinda scary
Oh well good experience

Pretty much yes, but its a big difference.
Also, BJJ competitions (where you have to wear the gi) usually are points competions, while submission comps usually are just win,lose or draw by submission only, no points.

Roper

I will be a) 83kgs and tubby, but happy due to spending ore time with my friend Mr. Carb during my exam period.
b) 75kgs and wipped, and depressed having neglected studies and Mr. Carb in favour of cutting.

Who knows how this will turn out?

Mrs. Roper will be happy!

Colm_OReilly

ttt! Just three short weeks away.

That means put down the Mars bar and do some cardio, no more slacking between rounds or spending 2 minutes getting water during a 5 minute round! (you know who you are)

Oh, and get those entries in!

Clive

The Shane

Who is fighting in what category?

I'm feeling heavy -92kg, I think.

Shane, The

Clive

Division of Death for me.
See you in the ABSOLUTO.

Subbway

Missing whole event after all. On antibiotics. Would have been -83 advanced AKA Division of DEATH (Tall finnish guy that trains with Barry).

Roper

Theres a chance, a slim chance, that I will be -75kgs next week.

A chance.

Tim_Murphy

A chance.

I'd consider competing if I knew that Barry would be in my division.

(Jim puts the divisions together for Colm, the answer to Jim's question is HIM!)

Roper

Edit? Edit? Now I'm curious Tim, what did you say?:D You insulted my parentage didn't you? Thats it! I'm coming to 68kgs Murphy! That Swedish dude can stay at home

Seriously, 75 is a long way away today, but we shall see...

Ger Healy

Cool.... Barry I'll see you in the -75kg so

Roper

Ger, if I make it you have to promise to wear your old AIMAA dobuk and I'll wear mine.:D

Everyday I get a little lighter, but not too much!

Had a heavy sweaty session in SBGN last night. Weighed before and was 80.3, weighed again after 1.5hrs of BJJ and 1hr of no gi- 80.2kgs:D

But we shall see, my ability to drop weight at an alarming rate doesn't quite match Clive's, but its not far off. -75kgs, I'm a coming!

Colm_OReilly

Nice to see the competitive rivalry heating up

Keep up sending in the entries. If you're training with anyone who's sitting on the fence enter them anyway! We'd a rake of beginners at the All Valley and it's important to encourage them.

And remember, the junior division is on the Sunday, see Roper angry with a hangover!

As for weights, I'm 71.5Kg, can I make 68Kg and steal the title from Roddy?

Can't wait to see that showdown!

LOL..... sounds like a plan not a very good plan but a plan none the less.:D

The Shane

That's asking two questions - in no particular order I will answer them thusly - maybe, and seems unlikely.

But as Joe Rogan has pointed out - this is the year of the underdog and Vegas Odds have Riley as underdog - by that rationale I believe it is now impossible for Roddy to win.

Shane, The

Colm_OReilly

Last week of training and the ugliness of cutting weight or the self acceptance that you'll fight at a weight heavier than last time.

If you've no where to train this bank holiday, Spartan MMA under the tutelage of The Shane will be on tonight at 7.30

72.5 this morning! eeek! Greek food - not good for cutting weight!

mark.leonard

Are you competing Jim?

StrateBlastJim

No not this weekend, i shall be competing in the next event, but my plan for this weekend is to train someone else to do the job for reilly. I had another 2.5 month spell out with injury/family/ and learning to drive issues, but im re-making a comeback this week to training.

Jim
-Fighting to train.

Roper

Well I'm 82kgs.

Subbway

Heh. Competing after all... 88 now. On muffin diet gonna be 89 on competition time

You better start running murphy as reilly is going to make under 70 if i have to chase him round the sports hall for 3 hours. Hes to fat these days, come to think of it we all are.

Fattys list so far;
Me
Reilly
The Shane
tim
roper
barry commins
vinny
clive

feel free to add who you think with the goal being to shame them into doing more cardio, and not just lifting heavier things like shane

Decide!

There hasn't been an increase in weights like this since Dublin Open 2006 - The Fattening.
