    I think the second one is what you're talking about.

    What is the Rookie Division?

    Last year each event saw over 70% of competitors at each event falling into the Rookie (first timer) category. To ensure the skill level between opponents will be similar, in 2006 anyone who enters as a Rookie will remain in the Rookie Division for the rest of the year. This will create a two tiered division format, Rookie and Veteran, with winners being crowned in each. At the end of the year a seeding system will be used to promote Rookies to Veteran Status as appropriate. The point of this system is to further ensure that competitors will face similarly skilled opponents.

    Exemptions to the Rookie Clause

    If a competitor has been training in MMA for 2 years or more he/she is NOT eligible for entering as a rookie, even if he satisfies the normal Rookie criteria.
    If a competitor has been training in a single MMA discipline for 3 years or more he\she is similarily excluded from entering as a Rookie. Disciplines that would count towards this rule are Boxing, Thai Boxing, Full Contact Kick Boxing, Wrestling (Freestyle, Greco etc), or Jiu Jitsu.

    Competitors Disallowed Entry:

    In the interest of maintaining safety and fairness within amateur competition, competitors who have fought in two or more 'professional' Mixed-Martial Arts bouts within the last twelve months will not be permitted to compete in League matches. For the sake of this rule, the term 'professional bout' will be deemed to describe a bout in which head strikes are permitted both whilst standing AND on the ground. Amateur' bouts (head strikes permitted standing but not whilst on the ground) are not considered as a 'professional bout' for the sake of this exclusion.
