Any chance of having this as a round robin format again? It's great for the smaller tournaments not to have the pressure of losing and only getting one fight.

Hey Tom, i do see where u are coming from and we will keep to round robin for the sub wrestling competitions,

as this is a no gi points tournament we want to do it as a single elimination format, that being said if we have low numbers of entrants we might change the style

DomBJJ

good idea.
I attended the Sub Wrestling comp last year and it was a great craic, especially because a round robin style- no pressure or stress when the match is lost !! I will be there!

Bres

You can pay on the day, We prefer if you register before so we can get an idea of numbers and ensure the competition runs smoothly. But we also let stragglers register on the day too.

Hi,

Just wondering about the next score being the winner thing. Does the match stop and get stood up and then its next score, or does it continue from the position it was in when the time is up?

Cheers,

Cheers,

it will get stood up and then begin, standing up is a neutral position so gives both competitors an equal chance

Disgusted I missed it !! Did many show up ?

michaelmouse

good numbers, bout 30 competitors, maybe more.. decent crowd, well run and refereed... not many heavy lads though... surprising seeing as they're beside burger king

Bres

hahaha thanks again! Yeah Burger King is both a blessing and a curse! Really have to finish fitting the kitchen this week so i stop strolling over for lunch and waddling back!
