Dammit! Flying to Italy that morning. Nutbags anyway. I haven't competed since February and I was looking forward to this.

any more news/details on this?

SBG Ireland

clive is busy scrapping this weekend...but then afterwards will be putting up details here on how to pay and register

are there any other details you need?

aFlabbyPanda

apart from the registration/payment my main question is about the weight categories, will they be as per IBJJF guidelines or will you have your own limits?

I think that's a great idea and seen as I'm in one of those brackets and it's my first bjj comp I'm looking forward to it. Oh yeah the younger bracket!!!!!

Online entry, papal link etc now up and running! If anyone has any problems, let me know.

Chris89

Clive as you have established papal links, will this competition be open exclusivity to members of the roman catholic church?

Chris.

Clive

Lol, other denominations are free to attend, however they cannot receive medals.:D

Seriously though, entries are coming in already, I'll get a confirmed competitor list up once I have a few more. I should be at Barry's show on Sunday, if anyone wants to pay then, I'll bring my receipt book.

stevemc01

Guys wheres the link to the online registration and paypal, I cant see it in this thread and the links in last years thread dont work for me. Thanks

I love the way you're judging at that AND taking entries for the BJJ open. Multitasking... awesome.

Clive

Your subtlety is lost on me, I can't even spell paypal.

I'm guessing there's no teen division?

Usually not as there is not enough interest. I dont know why though since Team Rhyno's last teens comp had a good enough turnout as far as I've heard. They might make a teens division on the day if theres enough interest...I'd be interested anyway.

toaldingham

Any ideas how the purple belt divisions will run? By weight or will it be an absolute?

TEAM RYANO

we will dived it up on the day 2 groups
and maybe if there is enough under 30 and over 30
to give the old guys a chance

I was last at the Irish Open in 2005 or 2006 I think, looking forward to it.

Who else is going?

prince vlad

Is there any rule about how crap you can't be to enter? I'm a NOOB white belt with very little training time but this sounds like a blast.

SBG Ireland

Check with your coach

Chris89

What are you on about, any self respecting member of the Irish BJJ/MMA community could get to St. Andrews with their eyes closed.
Rumour has it that even Mark Leonard can get there without using GPS. :eek:

Im sure he can Tim.....but the bjj open is on saturday and I will be needing directions to the silverhills hotel in cork for the sunday...hence the ' I will be getting directions' post aimed at Liam.Sometimes it pays to read the post properly before adding a comment.
Or maybe Im just not a respected member of the bjj/mma community.
