Liam_B · 12-03-2008 10:07AM

This will be a BJJ Tournament with ibjjf rules and weight brackets applied.

And also a Submission Grappling Tournament on the same day with ADCC rules applied. The Weight category for the Submission grappling Tournament willl be posted soon.:)

The main Goal for this 1st Munster Open Tournament is to give guys as many fights as possible. hence the SG and BJJ on the same day.:D:D

I can't help but notice the singular "weight Bracket" as opposed to "brackets"!!!:D Am I wrong in thinking open weight? If so I'm having a second breakfast now!

Liam_B · 12-03-2008 12:52PM

It will be weight categories. Absolute included

mark.leonard · 12-03-2008 02:59PM

Do you have a list of the weight categories or are you waiting on numbers to see what you can make out?

Hi guys,
University of Limerick have basically kicked us out in favour of a basketball tournament on May 11th so now the event will take place the same day in Shannon leisure centre, Shannon, Co Clare. And the event will start at 11:00 now.

Its quite an easy place to find, but if anyone needs directions you can email me- fquinlan75@hotmail.com If ye could pass on the info for anyone planning to come I would be thankful.

Also in regard to the no gi rules We have decided to make them the same as cbjj/gi rules however all leglocks will be legal with the exception of a heel hook.

Closing date for entries is 9th of May . If anybody has any questions let me know. Thanks-Fergal
