Yoooo my peeps!!! Ive been working on a concept for a tournament, and now is the time to spread the word! First QUALIFIER is at the end of JUNE, so get ready..... CTC is coming!
CTC is a Professional Jiu Jitsu Tournament where 16 Elite Level Grapplers compete for the title of Cut Throat Carnival Champion, The CTC Champions Belt, and up to $2250 in prize money!
Oooo yeah, and the only legal submissions are CHOKES AND NECK CRANKS!!!

How long are the regulation rounds? And what happens if no choke or crank in regulation? :-)
That's a crazy concept. Interested to see how it changes people's game
I want in the brown belt tourney when it happens. Just out of curiosity why just chokes and cranks?
Regulation rounds are 10 minutes. If no sub, then a 1 minute break followed by a 5 minute overtime where ANY SUB is legal! If still no sub, double DQ.Quote:

Is Rape choke legal? If so is Gracie Mag allowed to do press?!
Awesome concept. I would love to take part but I would simply get destroyed. Awesome ruleset though.
What an interesting and different concept for a competition! :)Quote:

Interesting concept! I'd be all over this if I lived on the West Coast!

Yeah, that sounds like a loop hole leg lockers will try to exploit.Quote:

We would have wheel chairs on stock.Quote:

However: I think if this caught on it could lead to really bad grappling. Like what has been brought up, could you bait other things? No, no you can’t because bait doesn’t work unless you can follow through. Now people can do wrong stuff like not clasp there hands together in spider web and “bench press” people off of them and such (yeah, I know, there is other way to beat that one from mounth other than an arm bar… but I think you could still see some craziness). I mean, if you tried to bench press me off of mount, I could always go to spider web and then to a triangle or the back…. Oh wait, no I can’t. That’s what I would do in class if I was just hunting a choke on someone but here there would be no reason for them to clasp their hands together and I couldn’t use any submission threat to make the POSITION ITSELF exist. Yeah, you might be able to pumble his arms off and go to the back or arm triangle without that but… maybe not. And yeah, I think you will see a lot of stalling but I think the leg locks are the LEAST of your worries (and I’m a big time leg lock guy). I’m more concerned at how it changes all primary positions in grappling.
But for what it is as a novelty, I think it’s cool, have fun with it :) It doesn’t hurt to compete in some weird rule sets every once in a while. After all, I’ve entered IBJJF based rule set and those rules are pretty crazy too ;)
some solid points here, debes
Only way to find out, is to fly out ;) Brian and Sean, you guys and your teams, ALONG WITH ALL 10TH PLANET FAMILY, are always welcome at Vista, at NO CHARGE! Currently Im looking for purple belts under 170 for the Qualifier to test these ideas out! San Diego is a great place to visit during the summer, just saying! June 28th, at 10th Planet Vista, a chance to win up to $300, plus if you win you get a spot in the main tournament in October for a chance to win $2250!!!!! APPLY TODAY!!!

Was glacing over the rules: it looks like no spinal locks, so no twister?
I think this sounds like a challenge! I like challenges.. too bad id have to cut my leg off at the hip to make 170Quote:
